Kinesio Taping

Our office have been able to utilize the benefits of Kinesio Taping for the past several months. This has been an awesome modality to utilize with our current rehabilitative techinques. I have currently submitted my exam to become a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner. I will be one of four Doctors of Chiropratic in the state of Kansas with this distinction.



Kinesio Taping is a techinque of applying kinesio tape (thin, elastic, colored, strips of stretchable tape) on joints and muscles where stability and support is needed. It is a non-restrictive taping method, opposite of white athletic tape, used to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused, tired muscles, and speed healing.

HOW IT WORKS!
When properly applied, you don't even know the tape is there. The practitioner places it on lightly stretched skin from one end of a muscle, joint, or tendon to the other. For muscle support or facilitation, the tape is applied from muscle origin to muscle insertion. For rehabilitation or muscle inhibition, the tape goes on in the opposite direction.

The taping techinque is based on the body's own natural healing process. Rather than strap down the muscle, the philosophy is to give free range of motion and allow the body's own muscular system to heal itself. Application of kinesio tape encourages muscle to function as they would if they did not need the tape. This in turns, not only improves body movement, but circulation of venous and lymph flow, body circulation, etc.

CONDITIONS TREATED
Kinesio taping is effective in relieving carpal tunnel symptoms, arthritis, plantar fascitis, and shoulder pain. Other conditions that have been treated with Kinesio taping are: TMJ syndrome, headaches, flat feet, low back conditions (disc problems, sprain/strain, sciatica, etc), Post ACL rehabilitation, hamstring and hip flexor strains, shin splints, patellar tendonitis, grinding of the knees, posterior knee pain, rotator cuff syndrome, cervical sprain/strain, whiplash, tennis elbow and trapezius tightness to name a few!

If you would like more information regarding the kinesio taping, please call our office. If other Healthcare Professionals would like to refer patients for the Kinesio Taping services only, our office will accomodate your patients for those services!!

In Health,
Dr. Brandon Trost

October 2009 - National Chiropractic Month

National Chiropractic Month

&

FREE BIOFREEZE SAMPLES

In conjunction with National Chiropractic Month, you are invited to stop by the office at 1319 East First Street in McPherson and ask for free biofreeze and register to win a 32oz pump of biofreeze.

During October, you can receive a complimentary posture screening, gait or foot analysis, a demostration of kinesio taping, and/or consultation.

The month of October has been declared as the "National Chiropractic Month". It was established to raise public awareness of the what chiropractic is and the benefits of chiropractic. This month was consolidated with two other awareness months: Spinal Health Month and Posture Awareness Month.

As a whole, Chiropractic has become a mainstream in alternative and traditional healthcare. Here are few interesting facts relating to Chiropractic:

-- Chiropractic is the largest, most regulated, and best recognized of the
complementary and alternative medicine professions. -- American
Chiropractic Association
-- The federal government provides chiropractic benefits for veterans,
military personnel and Medicare patients. -- American Chiropractic
Association
-- A major four-year study in the United States, published in the American
Medical Association journal, The Archives of Internal Medicine,
concluded that medical benefit plan members with chiropractic coverage
returned to work faster, had lower claim costs and experienced fewer
interventions such as MRIs compared to plan members without
chiropractic benefits.

I would like to share with you the how, what, when, where of CHIROPRACTIC. It is a scientific fact that your brain, spinal cord and the rest of your nerves control every aspect of your body. Hindering the nerve "connections" between your brain and your body through injuries, accidents, stress, diet related issues could lead to ill health. A common source of interference comes from the moving bones that encase the "information superhighway" of your spinal cord. This source is called the verterbral subluxation.

This nerve pressure can cause numbness, weakness, or the under-performance of organs and tissues. Or, spinal misalignments (subluxations) can cause nerve tissue to stretch, chafe, or become irritated. This can distort nerve messages between your body and your brain. The result? Hyperactive organ function, blood pressure, or even pain.

The focus of CHIROPRACTIC is on the integrity of your nervous system. A thorough examination helps locate areas of nervous system compromise. The moving bones of the spine are common culprits. Specific chiropractic adjustments help reduce these subluxations or interferences. The intent is to restore your body's ability to regulate and heal itself.

Chiropractic care is simple. It is natural. It honors the wisdom of your body. And it has helped millions enjoy relief and better health for more than a century.

Call today for your Chiropractic evaluation!!! If you want to discuss your health related situation first, we can schedule a consultation to see if you would be a chiropractic candidate.

Blessings and Health to You,

Dr. Brandon Trost
