Effective 6pm Monday March 16th we are going to close the clinic to all non-essential visits. For many, we have been a primary care provider, but at this point, as chiropractors we cannot risk exposure to those members of our practice who are most vulnerable.
If you have an appointment booked with us in the next two weeks, we will reschedule your appointment to (hopefully) the week of the 30th. If you have an acute injury, please contact us as we will arrange urgent care by appointment only. Not only is it imperative that we practice social isolation, but also that we keep our ER free of non-emergency complaints. If you require immediate care, we will make this provision for you, granted you have not been exposed to (or are) somebody who has travelled in the past 14-days and are not showing any symptoms of infection.
This does not mean that allied health visits are not considered essential, just that at this time, we have examined our social conscious and are choosing to help “flatten the curve”. We work with too many seniors, pregnant patients, children and immunocompromised people to take this lightly.
Financially as small business owners of a multidisciplinary clinic with numerous associates, this decision was not taken lightly. We look to our government in the recovery weeks that follow to help with stimulus plan for all small business owners and we look forward to seeing new and familiar faces back in our clinic and at our exercise classes.
Truly, the best case scenario, is that we look back on this and conclude that it was an overreaction. Let’s try to stay level headed and take care of each other.
