CPT® Code 29200

Strapping refers to the application of adhesive tape or similar materials to a specific area of the body, in this case, the thorax. This procedure is primarily utilized to treat soft tissue injuries or to provide support to areas of the thorax that may be vulnerable due to injury or other conditions. The process begins with a thorough evaluation by a physician or physical therapist, who assesses the mechanism of injury and identifies any areas of weakness or vulnerability that require support. Once the evaluation is complete, the thoracic region is carefully taped in a specific configuration designed to offer protection and stability to the affected areas. This method not only aids in the healing process but also helps to prevent further injury by stabilizing the thorax during movement and activity.
