While most of us will not get COVID-19 and the majority of those who do contract it will experience no symptoms, mild symptoms, or moderate symptoms and recover, there are those who are at much higher health risk.
If you are sick or have traveled
Because we want to protect our immunocompromised, elderly, and otherwise unwell patients from contracting this virus, we ask that you inform us if you are sick with a cough, fever, or any cold symptoms. Unfortunately, we will not be able to treat you until you are well again.
We also will not be able to treat you for 14 days after you travel to China, Italy, Iran, or any other high-density infection area.
If you need treatment
If you are worried about going to a clinic for treatment because you don’t want to get sick yourself or risk bringing home a virus to your at-risk family member or close friend, we can offer a home visit.
One of the best things to help you defend yourself against getting sick is to take care of your body and manage your stress. Acupuncture can help with this.
So, don’t suffer with your pains, your insomnia, your digestive issues, or your other health issues by just waiting it out until you feel comfortable going into clinics again. Contact us to see how we can help.
Protecting you
Our registered acupuncturists have always been required to do frequent hand washing. We will continue to do so.
We will also not visit you if we have any cold symptoms and we are not traveling outside of Canada.
