A member asked:
Does kinesio tape help if you have a herniated disk in the lower back? why does my knee hurt and burn just as much as my back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very little evidence: Kinesio tape has been shown to have very little or trivial benefit in treating musculoskeletal sports injuries, and there's less evidence to support using it in back injuries. Sciatica, or radicular back pain, will cause pain away from the injury which can be quite severe. The good news is that sciatica is very treatable and your back and leg pain should both resolve.
