Sports taping

Sports taping in Paradise, Rancho Oakey, or Spring Valley is becoming very popular. By using sports tape, we can help patients recover from joint pain and trauma while improving joint stability as well as preventing recurring injuries or the onset of new ones. With sports taping the proper biomechanics during an activity can be maintained.
As an effective, safe, and comfortable method of care, sports taping not only helps to stabilize and support injured muscles and joints, it also allows one to return to activities after a minor injury while reducing the chances or amount of further harm to the affected area.
Purpose of sports Taping
The primary purpose of sports taping is to not only provide support for joints and muscles, but also to aid in the elimination of pain and increase both lymph drainage and blood flow. Our chiropractors at MaxHealth Center have been properly trained in the application of sports taping to help correct abnormal muscle function. Through the alleviation of the stress effecting the musculature, pressure is relived from nearby nerves, blood, and lymph vessels. As these systems begin to function properly, inflammation and pain begin to decrease, and the restoration of full range of motion is accomplished. In contrast to traditional taping methods that are primarily utilized to reduce motion and stabilize the joint, sports taping is applied in such a way that doesn't cause compression of the underlying structures.
