At DC Family Chiropractic in Cañon City, Colorado, Dr. Buckhaults, D.C. is a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner. He uses Kinesio tape to support muscles and joints, ease pain, and help patients recover from injury.
Kinesio tape is a thin, stretchy tape applied directly to the skin. Unlike stiff athletic tape, it moves with your body. That means you get support without losing your range of motion.
How Kinesio Taping Can Help
Kinesio taping is often one part of a larger treatment plan. Here is what it brings to your care:
Support
The tape gives extra support to injured muscles, joints, and tendons while they heal.
Mobility
Because the tape stretches, you can keep moving, working, and training while you recover.
Part of Your Plan
We combine taping with adjustments and exercises based on your needs and the areas affected.
