Date added: 02 11 2012
Starting from November, medical taping is available at the Outpatient hospital „Mozums-1” conducted by doctor traumatologist - orthopedist.Medical taping is applying of the medical tape according to the anatomical and functional characteristics of the human body. The elasticity of the tape in relation to the elasticity of the skin is used to create a lifting effect on the epidermis. Thus more space is created in the area where all kinds of receptors, blood and lymph vessels are located. This leads to a natural recovery.
The tapes used are made of 100 % cotton and coated with hypoallergenic glue, which is activated at body temperature. It has about the same elasticity and thickness as the human skin. Cotton allows skin to breathe, so medical tapes can be worn for up to 5 days.
The basis for the medical taping concept was laid in Japan and Korea in the seventies. Initially it was used in the treatment and rehabilitation of professional athletes, as an alternative to painkillers.
Nowadays medical taping is used in many medical areas:
- back problems (e.g. - scoliosis, spondylosis, disc protrusion);
- diseases of the joints;
- osteoporosis;
- arthrosis;
- asthma;
- swelling and bruising;
- reduction of inflammation and prevention of scars;
- chronic and acute pain;
- post-traumatic and post-operative care;
- etc.
If traditional treatment methods of these diseases don’t bring the expected results, medical taping could help activating the natural ability of the human body to self-healing.
Medical taping is available at the Outpatient hospital „Mozums-1”, Bruninieku Str. 8, phone number 67273435, www.mozums1.lv.
