Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Chiropractic Care

We are currently facing a very serious global pandemic that has an affect on every single person globally whether they believe so or not. We here at inTune Chiropractic are working day-in and day-out to keep our patients and followers up to date with all information that will help them through this burdening time.
Currently, most states have listed that Chiropractic Care is an essential health care, so our doors will be open to all that need help. We are here to help Hospitals/ER’s, Urgent Cares, and Primary Care Physicians to focus on the increasingly affected population of Covid-19 by helping those with musculoskeletal complaints including low back pain, disc herniations, neck pain, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, headaches, migraines, and so much more!
Our Policy
inTune Chiropractic doctors and staff are closely monitoring the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and any state health organizations in order to see any recommendations and anything that we can pass on to our patients. At the office we are taking every precaution to ensure ourselves and our patients’ safety by increasing our sanitation of all common areas and any area where a staff member or patient may encounter. This includes extra attention to our adjustment tables and exam room tables!
Yes, we are remaining open to help those that need it. To help us reduce human contact we will be staggering patient appointments at different times so there will be no two patients in the office at the same time. If you do not need care, PLEASE STAY AT HOME. The best way to fight COVID-19 is to social distance yourself. In other words, just stay home: work from home, do not go out unless its essential, and soon the world will have a grip on controlling this outbreak. We do like you and of course would love to see you, but unless you are in a lot of pain or currently on an active treatment plan please stay home.
We will be changing around some patient care hours over the course of the next few weeks to possibly months. So stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram for further posts about our hours during these times.
What Chiropractic Can Do for You!
With the amount of increased stress that everyone is facing there is going to be an increase in the amount of musculoskeletal conditions including tight upper back/neck muscles, headaches and migraines. We want to help these people and at the same time keep these patients out of the hospitals and urgent cares to decrease any over-crowding problems for issues and conditions that we can help at our office!
Helping the spine stay in proper alignment helps the body naturally fight off disease, but we are NOT saying that chiropractic care will prevent you from contracting COVID-19. If you feel any kind of sickness at all we ask that you do not come into the office, please quarantine yourselves at home!
Overall
So what we are trying to say is, the best way to combat this pandemic is to stay in your homes and only come out for what is essential. If you are in severe pain we would prefer you coming to see us instead of filling up a much needed bed at a hospital. If you would like to call in and ask us any questions about how to stay healthy, at-home workouts, or diet tips to boost your immune system feel free to give us a call at 615.553.2268.
