Kinesiology tape is an elastic sports tape that is designed to relieve pain while providing support to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.  While this tape grew out of the sports world, Dr. Nelson has found it to be useful in treating a variety of other injuries and conditions, including sprains, strains, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, tendinitis, IT band syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, etc.  Dr. Nelson uses his knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics to apply the kinesiotape in an effective manner to provide support for the injured tissue while also allowing for the movements that are necessary to complete normal activities of daily living.
