Covid-19 — Grand Forks, ND — ChiroCenter One

Due to the progression of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) in the United States, I wanted to update you on additional procedures we are implementing at ChiroCenter One Chiropractors in Grand Forks to keep you and your family safe.

First, ChiroCenter One is open and encourages all patients who are symptom free to keep up with your chiropractic adjustments! The premise behind chiropractic in the first place is that your body heals itself, and chiropractic treatments remove interference that decrease your body's ability to heal itself. Studies have shown a benefit to the body's immune system and health in general through chiropractic adjustments as well.(https://health.usnews.com/health-news/patient-advice/articles/2015/11/30/surprise-chiropractors-can-treat-these-5-conditions)

That being said, we would ask all patients who are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath, as well those patients with family members experiencing these symptoms, to please reschedule your appointments and visit www.ndhealth.gov to see if your symptoms warrant a COVID-19 test.

We have always upheld high standards for cleanliness, but have implemented more frequent cleaning throughout the day. This includes inside and outside door handles, counter-tops, and areas in the waiting and treatment rooms. We have always used face paper on the adjusting table as an additional measure of safety, but will now be sanitizing surfaces on the table and in the adjusting room after EVERY patient.

Although no correlation has been made thus far regarding pets and COVID-19, Nico the office dog will be staying at home for the time being. So many people liked to pet and touch her that I thought this would be the best course of action for her, other patients, and my family at home.

If you have any other questions or concerns regarding our response to Coronavirus, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 701-775-0223.

Chiropractic & Coronavirus IV

By ChiroCenter One • 20 May, 2021

Effective immediately, ChiroCenter One will no longer require the use of masks while in the clinic waiting or treatment rooms. Individuals who are not fully vaccinated are encouraged to continue wearing masks, in alignment with the updated guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). We will continue our use of plexiglass barriers at the front desk and in the treatment rooms at this time. We will also continue our standard practice of disinfecting commonly touched surfaces at the front desk, in the waiting room, and in the treatment room. For those people who choose to wear a mask in the clinic, our staff and doctor will wear one as well. If you have any questions regarding this policy change please do not hesitate to contact us by email or phone .

Chiropractic & Coronavirus III

Who would have imagined I would be writing another post about COVID-19 almost a year from my first post? Just wanted to give an update on what is happening at ChiroCenter One and what we are doing to keep ourselves and our patient's safe. As of last week I received my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, and in less than two weeks Lori my office manager will be getting her second dose as well. We continue to follow best practices as set forth by the CDC, OSHA, ND Department of Health, and Grand Forks Public Health. We continue to wear N95 masks when dealing with patients, and patients entering the clinic are required to use face coverings as well. Patient's are still being scheduled as much as possible so that only one person is in the clinic at a time. Again, to help us with this, please do not show up late or super early for your appointment. Sanitation of the clinic and common surfaces is still a number one priority. We have installed protective shields at the front desk and in the treatment room.
