"The Tape Helps Keep My Knees From Hurting!"

Ever since coming to Dr. Foglia for treatment, my knees are better than in years.  I haven't got much cartiliage in my knees, but somehow between his laser treatments and the special tape, I'm doing great.  I guess I don't "need" knee surgery after all.  thank God I found Dr. Foglia before going under the knife!"

“I'm Amazed at What the Pink Tape Can Do for Me" 
"If only I had known about Dr. Foglia sooner.  He taped my foot and lasered it.  Then he worked on it with his hands.  I was told it was heel spurs.  Wow, were those other doctors wrong.  If your feet hurt you should check out Dr. Foglia and get taped!"

 How Could a Roll of
 Pink Tape Help
 End Your Pain? 


    Just Ask Lance Armstrong!


    Kinesiotape is a remarkable athletic tape that Dr. Christopher Foglia uses as part of his comprehensive care for chronic pain and injuries.  Read on to learn about Kinesiotape and how it may help you.

    Who would have thought that one of Lance Armstrong’s most guarded secret for his 7 Tour de France victories would turn out to be an unassuming roll of stretchy pink tape… 


    But that’s exactly the case according to Dr. Jeff Spencer, who was Lance’s “secret weapon” during all of those championships. According to Dr. Spencer, at the Tour, Lance and his fellow team cyclists were typically covered with pink tape underneath their riding uniforms.  After each stage of the Tour, the riders received Erchonia Cold Laser treatments and got chiropractic adjustments… and lots of Kinesio-tape. 


    You don’t need to cycle the Tour de France to benefit from Kinesiotape: 

    Kinesio-tape is awesome for everybody! The amazing Kinesiotaping method has revolutionized the sports medicine world. It was developed by chiropractor, Dr. Kenzo Kase of Japan.  According to Dr. Kase “Kinesio-taping is a rehabilitative, therapeutic modality based on the body’s own natural healing process.” 

    Kinesio-tape is quite different from conventional sports taping. The goal of conventional taping is to constrict and immobilize movement of an injured muscle or joint.  Usually several layers of tape are rolled around or over an affected area, which creates pressure and a reduction of flow of bodily fluids.  Dr. Kaze determined that this was not a desired effect. 

    Kinesio-taping on the other hand, is based on a totally different philosophy. Its purpose is to provide a free range of motion, allowing your body’s muscular system to heal itself through its own natural mechanics. 

    Kinesio-tape prevents muscles from contracting too much. It also stimulates the flow of lymph fluid, which is critical to repair and regeneration of tissues.  Kinesio-tape helps the nervous system and is thus a fantastic partner to treatments including: chiropractic, electrical stimulation, cold laser therapy and other physical medicine procedures.  Doctors and therapists of nearly every discipline worldwide are embracing Kinesio-tape.  

    Here’s how Kinesio-tape works:

    Kinesio-tape lifts your skin gently, which permits blood and lymph to flow more easily underneath the treated area. This reduces swelling and pain.  Its unique design simulates human skin in  thickness and weight. It stretches, unlike most conventional athletic tape. 

    Remember: Kinesio-tape  functions to move with your muscles; not restrict them.  Kinesio-tape is also heat activated and quite durable. It is typically worn for 3-4 days. It’s made from high-grade cotton, so it breathes well, and it’s latex-free for sensitive skin.  

    Because Kinesio-tape supports muscle, it helps improve muscle contraction in weak muscles. It reduces muscle fatigue and prevents excessive exertion, contraction and cramping, while simultaneously increasing range of motion.  Kinesio-tape improves blood and lymphatic circulation and reduces excess heat in the injured tissues. 

    Kinesio-tape can be an important part of any treatment protocol.  Instead of covering up pain with drugs, Dr. Christopher Foglia utilizes the tape to stimulate healing and repair, in conjunction with other treatment technologies he utilizes.
