K-taping
New research can now help many pain patients.Taping with elastic tapes. They are stuck to the skin in the area of the pain – and the pain subsides. Often this happens within minutes.
A variety of states of pain respond to this treatment:
- Backache
- Neckache
- Tennis ellbow
- Headache
- Painful Achilles tendon
With the elastic tape a variety of injuries can be treated with astonishing success. This method which originally comes from Japan has been further researched and developed in recent years.
Not only diseases of the musculoskeletal system can be treated with the K-taping; headaches are amongst the most important treatment areas.
Also patients with chronic pain such as chronic joint or back aches can benefit from the new therapy. In case of those patients the cause of the pain can often not be found or removed and the pain has become independent and virtually become a disease in itself. K-taping can often help such patients with chronic pain effectively.
This treatment method is further applied in case of lymphedema in the extremities where with the permanent massage it is able to stimulate the lymphoid flow.
