The Effect of TheraBand® Kinesiology Tape on Post-manipulation Pain and Range of Motion

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Acute Non-complicated Postural Neck Pain

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine if post-manipulation elastic therapeutic tape (ETT) with TheraBand® Kinesiology Tape to neck pain patients can impact neck range of motion (ROM) and post-manipulation pain. A convenience sample of 50 patients, between the ages of 18-64, who present with acute non-complicated postural neck pain will be recruited from an outpatient chiropractic clinic. Upon providing consent to participate, patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups; Control Group (manipulation only) and Tape Group (manipulation plus tape). Pain and neck ROM will be recorded at 3 different intervals: (1) pre-cervical manipulation, (2) within 5 minutes of cervical manipulation, (3) with 24-48 hours after manipulation.
