March Madness????

These are interesting and unprecedented times.  I wanted to take a few minutes and talk about what's not only on everybody’s mind, but what is affecting our every action, COVID-19. Here are some of the procedures we have implemented at Care More Chiropractic , as well as what each of us should be doing to prevent and/or slow the spread of this disease, or to “flatten the curve.”  

First, we at Care More Chiropractic are and essential medical facility and we are committed to remaining open.  At this time we are maintaining our regular hours.  We are asking that all patients SCHEDULE appointments.  This helps us to space out appointments so we can do our part in promoting social distancing.  This also give our doctors time to wash their hand and disinfect the tables between each patient. 

We are posting updates, health tips, and other vital information on Social Media.  We will also be teaching classes including a Strategies for Healthy Living, and Exercising at Home with Dr Debbie will be our first classes.  Here are the links:  





Second, we are actively cleaning and disinfecting ALL surfaces from curbside to our exam rooms, including all door knobs, counter tops, and  tables. We have always practiced hygiene at the highest professional standards, but have doubled down on our efforts in light of recent events.  My self, Dr. Debbie, and all therapeutic staff will be washing hands and/or thoroughly disinfecting hands between each and every patient, without exception. All tables, chairs, and other surface will also be thoroughly wiped down multiple times throughout the day.  Also, when you walk in to the office we ask that you immediately wash your hands prior to touching any surface.  

We do ask if you have been directed to self quarantine due to exposure, have tested positive for Covid-19, please DO NOT COME IN.  In addition, you should immediately contact for PCP if you have any of the following symptoms:  productive cough, non-productive cough, bronchitis, respiratory infection, sore throat, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, severe fatigue not associated with travel, myalgia, and arthralgia.  Your PCP should be contacted immediately for any change in health status. 
What can you do at home?  

The CDC states that you can protect yourself and help prevent spreading the virus to others if you:

Do
Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub
Cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or flexed elbow when you cough or sneeze
Avoid close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell
Stay home and self-isolate from others in the household if you feel unwell

Don't
Touch your eyes, nose, or mouth if your hands are not clean



In health,

Dr Kristen
