From the International Chiropractic Association:
March 16, 2020 (Falls Church, VA) “In these challenging times associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic, the International Chiropractors Association (ICA) is issuing a statement reaffirming chiropractic as an essential healthcare service. Everyone is under extraordinary levels of stress.
Chiropractic Services represent an essential and necessary component of the health care program of millions of patients of all ages and all walks of life in the United States and worldwide. Timely and consistent access to chiropractic care is essential to the maintenance of the health and wellbeing of this patient population, particularly during times of stress.
It is important to recognize that as of mid-March 2020, there are no recognized cures in conventional medicine or alternative health approaches for COVID-19. There are no vaccines, no drugs, no natural remedies, no alternative therapies that have been tested and the outcomes peer reviewed to meet any evidence-based standard. The public has the right to seek their own pathway to health and well-being. For millions of Americans, that pathway includes regular chiropractic care. For individuals such as those recovering from injury or suffering back pain, chiropractic care is essential on their road to recovery.”
To our valued patients and friends: We commit to be in our office serving the community for as long as local leaders allow during this incredibly stressful time. We commit to keep a clean and sanitary waiting room and treatment rooms. However, we do ask that if you are experiencing COVID symptoms, or have been in contact with confirmed cases of the virus, that you follow the suggested quarantine recommendations and refrain from coming in to our office to protect the health of other patients. We believe chiropractic is a vital part of a healthy immune system and overall well being of all people.
Yours in health,
Dr Adams, Camilla and Ale
