Sport and Rehab Taping in Kansas City, MO
Support Healing, Reduce Pain, and Improve Performance
At Carey Chiropractic, we offer Kinesiology Taping as part of our comprehensive approach to injury recovery and performance support. This specialized taping technique helps stabilize joints and muscles without restricting movement, allowing your body to heal naturally while maintaining mobility.
Kinesiology tape is designed to gently lift the skin, creating space between the tissue layers to reduce inflammation, support lymphatic drainage, and relieve pressure on pain receptors. It’s an effective therapy for athletes, active individuals, and patients recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions.
Safe for all ages and skin types, sport and rehab taping is a versatile treatment used to complement manual therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and soft tissue techniques. Whether you're recovering from a sprain, managing joint pain, or looking to prevent injury, taping can provide the targeted support your body needs to function at its best.
