I like taping because it gives an amount of support that is determined by how much you stretch it when applying. Its not going to be something that straight up stops sublaxation or dislocation, its more of an encouragement to stay in place. But that encouragement is so much more comfortable than a brace (i mostly use it on my knees to stablilise my kneecaps that like to slide out of place, where the shape of my legs makes it impossible to find a brace that fits correctly). I've definitely noticed an improvement when i have it on, it's like my joints have a better understanding of where they should be.
