Can Chiropractors Help with Coronavirus?
The Coronavirus has drastically reshaped our healthcare system and economy in a short period of time. Everyone plays a role in slowing the progression of the virus. That includes our office. As you know, the staff at Turning Point Chiropractic has fine-tuned their disinfecting protocols by strictly following CDC guidelines. But there may be more we can do to help.
Over the past five years, more doctors and medical institutions have come out urging patients to seek chiropractic care for musculoskeletal conditions (those dealing with joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments) prior to seeing their medical provider. This reduces the burden on the healthcare system which is needed now more than ever.
If you are experiencing spine-related conditions, this includes shoulder and hip pain, our chiropractors are prepared and qualified to treat you not only in person but via tele-health. If an x-ray or MRI is needed, our chiropractors have the ability to order those directly as well. Chiropractors provide an additional portal of entry to the healthcare system and divert people away from emergency rooms, hospitals, and medical offices thus reducing exposure to the virus.
Our doctors are specialists in treating musculoskeletal conditions. This includes pinched nerves, spinal disc problems, muscle strains, and more. If you are experiencing a fever, or flu-like symptoms, please call us ahead of time or click here for more information. There are no chiropractic treatments for the coronavirus or flu.
To schedule an appointment or get more information about the tele-health service, give us a call. We wish you and your loved ones health and safety during this time!
