Federal Government Designates Chiropractic As Essential: Dr. Michael’s Covid 19 update for 4-12-20
Posted By Dr. Michael Polsinelli, DC On April 12, 2020 @ 11:34 am In ,COVID-19,Practice Announcement | No Comments
Recently, the Department of Homeland Security specifically included chiropractic in their guidance on essential and critical workforce [1]. This is the same position that the Ohio State Chiropractic Association has been telling its members. Not all chiropractors are staying open though. I know several that have closed during this crisis because they are at risk or have a loved one at home who is at risk.
While not all visits to see me are essential, some are. I’ve decided to stay open for those visits. At the same time, we are adding new safety measures to protect ourselves and our patients.
One client said to Lydia today that we are doing better than the stores.
Before you come, please take your temperature. Please cancel if it is above 99.6. Also, let us know if you are having any other cough/flu symptoms before coming in. We are not enforcing our 24-hour cancellation policy, but please call
We are restricting the number of people in the office.
We are sanitizing all surfaces, tables, chairs, equipment, pillows, bolsters, and door handles between each patient. We are sanitizing with either a Clorox solution (that is slightly more concentrated than what the CDC is recommending [2]) or with isopropyl alcohol. If you need to use the restroom, let us know and we will sanitize all door handles, faucets, toilets, and doors before you go.
When you arrive
Before your appointment and after your appointment, please practice social distancing (6ft). When paying, please do so behind the sneeze guard.
During your visit, please refrain from touching your phone. If you need to, please wash your hands or use hand sanitizer after touching it. We also have an alcohol spray by the masks in the kitchen if you would like to sterilize your phone.
If you need supplements we can ship them to you. Free shipping on all orders. If you need something in a hurry, you can upgrade to priority shipping for $2.99. Orders that are more than $100 or 1 pound will be shipped by priority mail at no extra charge. You can also pay ahead of time and we can walk them out to you in your car.
Finally, you can contact me via email at https://spinalalignment.com/contact/ [3]. I am also available for phone consultations for nutrition or movement/exercise recommendations. The fee will be $40 for 20 minutes.
Stay smart, stay safe, take your Vitamin D [4]. Call us if you need anything.
