The team at True Vitality KC is equipped to treat all sorts of sports injuries for patients in Kansas City, MO, using state-of-the-art approaches like kinesio taping and the Graston technique.
What are the most common causes of sports injuries?
Sports injuries often result from direct impacts or twisting motions, causing strains on muscles, joints, and soft tissues. Indirect-impact injuries can lead to inflammation and nerve compression, affecting performance and health. Our treatment for sports injuries involves various approaches, including adjustments, massage, therapeutic exercises, and specialized techniques like Graston and Kinesio taping. These methods aim to address the root cause of the injury and promote healing while providing support to the affected area.
What is Kinesio taping?
Kinesio taping utilizes flexible cloth tape to support injured areas during healing while allowing athletes to remain active. The tape's flexibility prevents muscle stiffness and promotes circulation and lymphatic drainage, aiding in faster recovery. Application is tailored to the injury site, offering continuous support.
What is the Graston technique?
The Graston technique utilizes specialized instruments to address trigger points and muscle knots, mobilizing soft tissues and restoring normal function. Often used alongside chiropractic adjustments or massage, it stimulates circulation and accelerates healing, benefiting both acute and chronic conditions.
