Telemedicine
Turning Point Chiropractic remains open for emergency cases and ongoing care of current patients. We continue to take every precaution necessary to ensure the safety of our patients, their families, our staff and our community. As an essential service, we are doing everything we can to offset unnecessary visits to urgent care and emergency rooms for musculoskeletal complaints that can be managed conservatively through chiropractic care.
We understand that for many of our current and prospective patients coming to the office might not be an option at this time. With this in mind, we are excited to announce Turning Point Chiropractic will begin offering virtual visits on April 6, 2020. Please see our list of frequently asked questions below to learn more about this new service.
