Kinesiology tape back

General information

The back is the back of the human body and is the basic support structure for our entire organism. This important anatomical region extends from the base of the skull to the coccyx and encompasses the entire spine. The spine, in turn, is the central structure of the spine and is divided into several sections, including the cervical spine (neck), the thoracic spine (chest), the lumbar spine (lower back), the sacrum and the coccyx. Although the back has a remarkable stability, it also allows an astonishing range of movements. This flexibility allows us to rotate, bend, lean and maintain an upright posture. In addition, the spine performs a protective function by covering and protecting the spinal cord, a central element of the central nervous system.

Causes

Back pain can be caused by a number of factors, including:

• Muscle tension: Stress, misalignment or excessive strain can lead to muscle tension in the back.
• Poor posture: Poor posture when sitting, standing or lifting heavy objects can lead to back pain.
• Injuries: Accidents, falls or sudden movements can lead to spinal injuries and severe pain.
• Inflammation: Inflammation of the muscles, tendons or joints in the back can cause chronic pain.
• Osteoarthritis: Degenerative changes of the spine can lead to chronic back pain over time.
• Nerve compression: Pinched or irritated nerves in the back can cause pain, numbness and tingling.

How does K-Active® Tape help against back pain?

Effective treatment of back pain begins with a precise diagnosis to identify the underlying cause. Afterwards, targeted measures can be taken to relieve pain, improve the functionality of the back and prevent future complaints. In this context, K-Active® Tape can play a valuable supporting role. By applying K-Active® Tape, the back area can be stabilized, which helps to reduce the strain on the affected muscles and joints and promotes the correct alignment of the spine. Despite this stabilizing effect, the tape allows for adequate mobility, which is particularly important to maintain the natural mobility of the back. Another advantage of the K-Active® Tape is its ability to positively influence sensory perception by exerting gentle pressure on the skin. This can cause the brain to receive positive signals, which in turn helps to reduce pain stimuli. As a result, many people experience significant relief of their back pain.
