Safely Seeing a Chiropractor During the Pandemic

As the world continues to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals are understandably cautious about seeking in-person healthcare, including chiropractic care. However, maintaining spinal health and managing pain is essential, and chiropractic visits can be safe with the right precautions in place. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to safely see a chiropractor during the pandemic and what to expect during your visit.

1. Check for Safety Protocols

Before scheduling an appointment, it’s important to research the chiropractic office’s safety measures. Here at Vert Chiropractic, we have implemented strict protocols to protect both patients and staff. Here are some safety measures to look for:

• Enhanced cleaning: Regular disinfection of treatment rooms, equipment, and common areas.

• Health screenings: Pre-appointment screenings for symptoms and exposure history.

• Masks and PPE: Staff wearing masks and personal protective equipment, with recommendations for patients to do the same.

  
  

2. Communicate Your Concerns

If you have specific concerns about your health or safety, don’t hesitate to communicate them when scheduling your appointment. We will be happy to address your questions and reassure you about the safety measures in place. This open communication can help alleviate any anxiety you may feel about visiting.

3. Prepare for Your Visit

To ensure a safe experience, consider the following tips before your appointment:

• Limit exposure: Try to minimize exposure to crowded places in the days leading up to your appointment.

• Arrive on time: Arriving at your scheduled time helps reduce the number of patients in the waiting area, allowing for better social distancing.

• Bring your mask: Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth during your visit, as this is often required for both patients and staff.

  
  

4. Follow Hygiene Protocols

Upon arrival, you’ll likely notice additional hygiene protocols in place. Be prepared to:

• Sanitize your hands: Use hand sanitizer upon entering the office.

• Follow social distancing guidelines: Maintain a safe distance from other patients and staff in the waiting area.

• Wear a mask: Keep your mask on during your visit, especially when interacting with staff.

  
  

5. Prioritize Your Health

Remember that maintaining your health during the pandemic is crucial. If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort, don’t delay seeking care. We can help manage pain, improve mobility, and support your overall well-being.
