Chiropractic Care is an Essential Healthcare Service- Read this Important Message regarding COVID-19

COVID-19 has brought upon us all, an international health crisis that is causing a tremendous stress to the world. Healthcare providers must all come together to provide the required care for patients during these times of needs. Per the International Chiropractors Association, Doctors of chiropractic (DCs) are primary-contact healthcare providers who provide essential care, including (but not limited to) managing acute and urgent musculoskeletal conditions. These services are critical for managing cases that otherwise could end up in emergency rooms, worsening an already difficult situation. Chiropractic services also keep in place healthcare providers, first responders and others who have physically strenuous jobs that support critical infrastructure, such as truck drivers who continue to ensure that America’s healthcare and food supplies get to where they are needed during the COVID-19 pandemic. As DCs provide this essential support, doctors of chiropractic share the public health responsibility of slowing the transmission of COVID-19.
