Treatment of pain

Kinesio-Taping involves applying non-stretchable or elastic tape to the body in a specific way. It is used not only in sports medicine (in the event of injury or contusion), but also in orthopedics and rehabilitation. Thanks to kinesiotaping, patients can return to their normal activities more quickly after treatment and surgery. Kinesio-Taping patches are an effective and very safe form of therapy. They do not contain any pharmacological agents, but nevertheless bring about the desired effects, including almost immediate pain relief or even complete pain elimination.

This method aims to reduce any pain and improve healing processes. The overall mechanism of action of the patch depends on how and where it is applied. After application, a muscle relaxation effect can be achieved. The patch also has analgesic properties and reduces bruising and swelling.

The adhesive patches cause the skin to be slightly stretched, which increases the space between the skin and the fascia—the membrane covering the muscles. This has a positive effect on the lymphatic system. The amount and speed of lymph flow increases, which helps remove congestion and reduce inflammation. Improved microcirculation has a positive effect on the biological, chemical, and physical processes that take place under the skin. The patches do not restrict everyday life in any way and can be worn while bathing, as the adhesive used in their production is waterproof. The therapeutic tapes are made of high-quality cotton, which resembles human skin in its properties. The patches adhere well to the skin, ensuring comfort during wear. The tapes do not restrict movement in any way, which is why they are referred to as dynamic.

When is it a good idea to use Kinesio-Taping?

This therapeutic method is recommended for, among other things:

• injuries and trauma,
• pain complaints resulting from degeneration,
• reduced muscle tone,
• lymphedema,
• problems with extensive bruising.

Dynamic taping has several advantages, including the fact that it is suitable for a wide range of people. Therapeutic tapes improve circulation, which accelerates healing. What is more, they reduce tension and thus relieve pain. In addition, Kinesio Taping can be used in combination with other therapies.

There are various techniques for applying patches, and the choice of a specific technique depends on the individual case. The procedure at our clinic takes 20 minutes on average. The skin is thoroughly cleansed before the patches are applied. After the procedure, the patient can immediately resume their daily activities.
