KinesioTape 
KinesioTape was invented by a Japanese chiropractor in order to help support and strengthen the body's natural healing properties. The tape is not magnetic or medicated in any way. The adhesive that is used with the tape is hypo-allergenic and can be used on any age. Since its introduction many patients, including Olympic level and professional athletes, have received relief from their injuries and misalignments by simply using this elastic taping method. Dr. Wilson has completed the entire KinesioTaping course work and is proficient in the use of KinesioTape for many different conditions.
Benefits of KinesioTape:
- REDUCES PAIN through release of Endorphins (the body's natural pain relievers)
- DECREASES SWELLING by improving efficiency of lymphatic drainage
- REDUCES MUSCLE SPASM by reducing muscle fatigue and over contraction
- SPEEDS THE HEALING PROCESS by increasing blood flow to the area of injury
- HELPS ADJUSTMENTS LAST by gently supporting the area of correction
At Home Instructions:
- Ice can be applied over the tape for additional pain relief and to help reduce swelling.
- Shower as usual and simply blot the KinesioTape dry with a towel. (The tape is water-proof!)
- Do not rub the tape with a towel or try to use a blow dryer to dry the tape.
- Leave the tape on as long as you can. It will come off as the outer skin layer naturally sloughs off. (2-10 days)
