Chiropractic and the Coronavirus

WHO and CDC Health recommendations include:

• Washing your hands frequently with soap and water.
• Maintaining social distancing of at least 3 feet between you and anyone who is coughing and sneezing.
• Refraining from physical contact with others outside of your home.
• Avoid touching of the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
• Limiting large gatherings of people 50 or more.
• Seeking medical care immediately if you feel ill or have a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing.

At Care Family Medical and Chiropractic, we are committed to providing a clean and sanitary environment.

As a precautionary measure, we have implemented increased hygiene routines and we are taking extra measures to wash and clean every surface area of our clinic.

We are also recommending that you refrain from coming to see us if you are experiencing any kind of symptoms listed above.

When a chiropractor performs treatment with you, they are making sure that your spine is in complete alignment so it can send signals from the brain to your organs.
