Kinesio Taping in Burnsville

Sometimes an injured muscle or joint needs support to keep working — without being locked down. Kinesio taping at Eagle Trace Spine & Sport uses elastic therapeutic tape to do exactly that: it backs up the area, helps ease swelling, and gives your body better feedback, all while letting you move through your full range. It's a simple add-on that helps the gains from your adjustment and rehab hold between visits.

How Kinesio Taping works at Eagle Trace Spine & Sport

How it works

What to expect with kinesio taping

  1. Step 1

    Assess the injury and movement

    We look at how the area moves and where it needs support, so the tape is applied to do the most good for your specific injury.

  2. Step 2

    Apply the tape to support, not restrict

    The elastic tape is applied in a pattern that backs up the muscle or joint and eases swelling — while letting you keep moving normally.

  3. Step 3

    Reinforce care and rehab

    Taping extends the benefit of your adjustment and exercises between visits, helping the area hold its gains as it heals.

The basics

About kinesio taping

Kinesio taping uses a stretchy, skin-friendly tape applied in a specific pattern over a muscle or joint. Unlike rigid athletic tape that locks a joint down, kinesio tape moves with you. As you move, it gently lifts the skin, which is thought to ease pressure on the tissue underneath and help fluid and swelling drain more freely.

It also gives the area constant, light feedback — a cue that can help an injured or overworked muscle fire the way it should. Because it stays on for several days, the support keeps working between visits, which is why we often use it alongside chiropractic care, rehab, and athletic recovery.

What is kinesio taping?

Kinesio taping is the use of elastic therapeutic tape to support an injured or overworked muscle or joint — without locking it down. The tape moves with you, gently lifting the skin to ease pressure and help swelling drain, while giving the area helpful feedback to move the way it should.

At Eagle Trace Spine & Sport in Burnsville, Dr. Jeff Plaster uses kinesio taping to extend the benefit of an adjustment or rehab session — so the area keeps its support between visits.

What to expect

Your clinician assesses how the area moves, then applies the elastic tape in a pattern chosen for your specific injury. You’ll keep your full range of motion — the tape supports rather than restricts. It’s comfortable and water-resistant, so you can stay active and even shower with it on, and it keeps working for several days.

Taping is quick and pairs with the rest of your care. We use it alongside adjustments and targeted exercises so the support reinforces the healing already underway.

Kinesio Taping FAQ

Still have questions? Contact us — we're happy to help.

How long does kinesio tape stay on?+

Usually a few days — it's water-resistant, so you can shower and stay active while it's on. Your clinician will tell you when to remove it and whether to re-tape.

Does kinesio taping restrict movement?+

No — that's the point. Unlike rigid athletic tape, kinesio tape is elastic and moves with you, supporting the area while you keep your full range of motion.

Will it fix my injury on its own?+

Taping is a support, not a cure. It works best alongside chiropractic care and rehab — it helps the area hold the gains from your treatment while the underlying issue heals.

Is kinesio taping only for athletes?+

Not at all. Athletes use it often, but it helps anyone with a sore or swollen muscle or joint — from a tweaked back to a sore shoulder.

“I’m a career firefighter and have suffered from a back injury from the job for the last 8 years. I was sent to a chiropractor years ago after reinjuring my back, initially I felt a little relief from my injury, but it never really went away and after 3 years of going to them I wasn’t getting better. I started to think I was going to spend the rest of my life with some degree of back pain. I stumbled across Dr Jeff at my daughters gymnastics class and we started talking about my injury. He invited me to his practice to see how he could help relive my pain. Within the first week I was feeling better than I had felt in 8 years since my initial back injury, week 2 was continued progress in reducing my pain to almost nothing. The truest test of his great work has been how good I’ve felt after shoveling and snow blowing after these last few storms. Dr Jeff’s multiple disciplines in chiropractic care and ability to customize your treatments to best suit your injury, coupled with his genuine care and concern are Amazing! When you tell him how your feeling from visit to visit he is listening and using your input to to maximize the output of your care. This is Good Ole Fashioned Service, his whole office has a great attitude and do their Best to work with you.”
