Elastic therapeutic tape that supports injured muscles and joints while you heal, offered at both Longhorn clinics.
Kinesiology taping uses a thin, stretchy cotton tape applied to the skin over muscles and joints. It is used to support injured areas while still letting you move. At Longhorn, your chiropractor may add taping to your care plan after a car accident, sports injury or strain.

Taping is one part of a plan, usually combined with adjustments or soft tissue work.

No. It should feel light. Tell your provider if it itches or irritates your skin.
Usually not. It is most often part of a wider care plan.
