ATLAS CHIROPRACTIC: Statement on COVID-19

Due to the notice of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Indiana, we wanted to update you on procedures we are implementing to keep you and your family safe during this time.

Cleaning Measures:
Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, our team members would disinfect the adjusting tables before and after shifts, and periodically throughout the day as needed. We have always had disinfectant wipes available to our Practice Members in the adjusting rooms as well as Purell hand sanitizer. You are more than welcome to use these at any time. Due to the recent pandemic, we are now increasing our frequency of cleaning these adjusting tables to every 30 minutes, and taking extra precautions to clean all surfaces of our office throughout the day, including: door handles, keyboards, countertops, computer screens, etc. Each of our practice members have been instructed to place face paper down on the adjusting table prior to laying down for their adjustment. This regular use of face paper serves as an additional safety measure to protect the practice members that we serve.

Education & Research:
We understand that there is a swirl of anxiety and fear regarding the present situation. It is our goal to put you at ease amidst this global event. We have a host of resources about chiropractic on our website, and in our office, to help you better understand the vital role that chiropractic care has on your health and your immune system.

What Can YOU Do Now to Protect Yourself:

1. GET ADJUSTED!
It is now more important than ever to stay on track with your weekly chiropractic adjustments. PREVENTION of sickness and dis-ease is key! In fact, we have several practice members receiving extra adjustments this month, to boost their immune system. We are eager to keep you well-adjusted through this time. With specific, neurologically-based chiropractic care, should you contract any illness, your healing and recovery times will experience a boost. 

2. STAY ACTIVE & MOVING!

Movement is vital to proper immune function. Have you ever noticed how more people tend to get sick in the winter months? This is partially due to inactivity. Science shows that movement and active lifestyles increase immune function. Keep an active lifestyle through this time to promote better immune function.

3. AVOID FEAR & WORRY!

Fear and worry lead to stress. Stress leads to decreased immune function. Don’t allow fear to creep into your life and win. We don’t want to minimize the seriousness of this global event, however we also recognize the need to keep ourselves as healthy as possible through this time, to maximize our health and body function. Utilize relaxation techniques to stay at ease, spend extra time enjoying life with your family and friends, think about the positive in every situation, and take action steps towards better health that you have control over.
