What type of tape is Kinesiology Tape?
Today, there are more than 50 brands of kinesiology tape on the market. Our practice specifically uses either RockTape or Dynamic Tape, as these are the top Kinesiology tapes out there.
When applied properly, these tapes lifts the skin away from the muscle, which promotes blood flow. Faster blood flow means more oxygen and more lymph drainage, which helps remove exercise byproducts. RockTape and Dynamic Tape can be worn up to 5 days. It is 100% cotton and can be worn while swimming or in the shower.
Research has shown that RockTape on skin can attenuate muscle fatigue. In rehab, this is very important, not only for the parts of your body that are currently hurting, but also for the surrounding areas as they help to pick up the slack for muscles that are currently not working well.
When someone is injured, fatigued, sick, or inflamed, the symphony of muscle action that normally takes place with great accuracy often falls out of tune. This can happen all over the body. For instance, research has shown that people who sprain their ankle tend to have altered activity of their hip muscle as a result. RockTape helps bring dormant muscle back to life and help calm down the overactive muscles. It helps your body coordinate movement as if it weren’t hurt, hence allowing it to heal properly.
Unlike conventional taping which is meant to prevent any movement at all, RockTape is meant to allow full movement of the taped area. Through elastic properties and quick recoil, RockTape can help distribute forces to other nearby areas through the fascia, ligaments, and even bones.

They are all amazing, they got me in fast, and we're very friendly, and answered any questions I had. They helped me much more than my old chiropractor 10/10 I highly recommend them!!
Called first thing this morning in need of an appointment asap and she immediately said "when can you get here"! Best customer service and bed side manner of any chiropractors office ive ever been in! 10/10 would recommend to ANYONE!
So thankful for Scott County Chiropractic, not only for me & my husband who has spinal bifta but for my foster son who spent the last 5 weeks in stiff pain and has FINALLY FOUND relief! Thank you Scott County Chiropractic!
Great vibes/energy from everyone who works here. Great work received from the doctor, and the new lady who specializes in muscle massages is amazing! Highly recommended!
I 100% recommend this place. The Dr. has helped me tremendously with my back pain. The staff is always welcoming and professional. Thank you to the best chiropractic team around!
Staff is amazing. Always so kind and caring. Dr Ivey takes his time listen to what you have going on. Would recommend to anyone. Entire staff makes you feel like family.
My family and I have been a patient since Scott. Co. Chiro opened. My daughter is an athlete and was initially seen for an old knee injury that just would NOT heal all the way. We were focusing on just the knee after seeing a specialist... but come to find out her pelvis is out of line- with routine adjustments and therapy- she has not had any issues since. We plan to get back 2/3 times a week for Preventive Maintenance before Off season training and AAU. Staff & Dr- friendly, fast and informative.
I suffer from migraines and the staff at Scott County Chiropractic has been wonderful at helping me manage them. I have been able to manage my migraine without medication with their help. They have worked with my schedule and been wonderfully at working with my insurance for reimbursement.
I have received chiropractic care for almost 10 years now. I suffered some injuries from a car wreck at 18 that went untreated for a few years. Since then I have worked desk jobs and physically demanding jobs, and even had a child. Each of these took their own toll on my body. I have recommended chiropractic care before, but never like this. Dr. Josh and his staff are truly the most kind and caring people, raising the bar for patient care. They all welcome my child in who has also started getting regular adjustments as a toddler. Dr. Josh is excellent at explaining what will be done and adapting as necessary. This is the best chiropractor and office I have been to.
We love this office and staff. My teenage daughter was suffering with headaches from neck strain during volleyball season . Getting adjusted weekly releived the tension and stress on her neck and shoulders to relieve the headaches . Staff always friendly and helpful . 🙂
Very friendly, we really like going, even my kids. He uses a lot of techniques I’ve never seen before (I’ve been to quite a few different chiropractors) and he seems to really get things to move. Always feel so much better after going. The staff is very friendly. Hope I can take my kids and myself here forever!<br><br>As for the 1-star comments, obviously they must be from friends and family of the previous Doctor. How petty and sad that fabricating ridiculous stories is your past time.
An excellent well managed business. The current chiropractor is just as skilled as the previous one, and the staff are very nice (especially Amber!) I’ll definitely always be a patient here.<br><br>Also, it’s very obvious most of these nasty negative reviews are entirely fake and have been posted out of petty spite over what happened with the previous Dr… Be careful what you believe without getting both sides of the story.
My husband and I have been going to Scott County Chiropractic for 2 years now and we have always received quality and professional care from all the staff. We have recommended several others to this clinic and they have had the same response. We are thankful to have found such a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere to receive adjustments.
The staff is excellent and very helpful and very friendly. They always make sure that I feel comfortable and work around my schedule to get me in. Also the doctor is amazing and said she down and talk to you and goes over everything With you. I’ve had nothing but a great experience and my pinched nerve is already getting better just after four visits. I would recommend Scott County chiropractic to anyone!
