During these challenging times associated with the COVID-19 situation, we want to let you know that we are fully committed to our patients by remaining OPEN. The Department of Homeland Security has issued a statement reaffirming Chiropractors as “essential healthcare providers”.
Chiropractic care represents a necessary component of the health care program of millions of people of all ages and all conditions. Timely and consistent access to chiropractic care is essential to the health and well-being of our patient population, particularly during times of stress. We are scheduling existing and new patients during the shelter-in-place period.
We want to reassure you that we are taking all appropriate measures to ensure the continued, safe delivery of care for all of your standard complaints and injuries. In order to maximize the safety and minimize the risk to staff and patients, we are performing the following:
- Carefully sanitizing all surfaces regularly throughout the day, including treatment tables, workstations, tools, doorknobs, and counter tops.
- Promoting “social distancing” by spacing out appointments and restricting traffic in our common areas. You will be roomed immediately or shuttled into a private holding area.
- Minimizing contact exposure during your visit by keeping doors open and encouraging phone, electronic, and quick pay options.
- Wearing protective gear, such as masks and gloves, during treatment to reduce transmission.
- Taking temperatures of all staff and patients when they arrive at the office and isolating any suspicious patients as quickly as possible.
- Screening each patient to make sure they have not been exposed to an active case within 14 days or are experiencing a fever, dry cough, shortness of breath or fatigue.
- Monitoring the health of our staff and sending them home if they demonstrate any suspicious symptoms, or report any exposures to potentially infected friends or family members.
Lastly, while there is currently no cure or vaccine for the Coronavirus, health care research today has shown the importance of strengthening your immune system by including vitamins and supplements in your daily diet. We have a wide selection of high quality items in stock such as:
- Antioxidant Support (Vit A,C,E , B6, B9, B12 + iron, zinc, selenium, copper)
- Vitamins D3
- Zinc+ Lozenges (containing Vit C, echinacea, and bee propolis)
- Herbal Throat Spray (Echinacea, clove, marshmallow root, sage, calendula)
- Immune Spray (Zinc, echinacea, thymus)
We will continue to monitor the progress of this pandemic through state and federal sources throughout the day and updating our procedures as necessary. Thank you for your continued trust in us!
I’m very hopeful that we can and will get through this challenging time together!
Yours in Health,
Dr. Teresa Yin and Staff
