We Are Open!

Dear Patients,

We want to take some time to ensure you that we are committed to providing a safe space for our patients and continuously monitoring the updates, advisories, and recommendations for COVID-19 through the CDC and WHO. It is important for us as healthcare providers to understand our part in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 to communities of people we care about. We are staying nimble to react appropriately during this dynamic situation and have implemented additional precautionary practices in our operations during this time of heightened awareness.

Our priority is always the health and safety of our patients.

What are we doing?

  • We are sanitizing all treatment areas, reception area, door knobs, bathroom and equipment thoroughly and frequently.
  • We are making sure that alcohol-based sanitizer, face masks and antiviral tissues are available.

What can you do?

  • Wear a face mask or face covering
  • Wash your hands regularly, or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  • If you are sick (fever, coughing, shortness of breath) STAY HOME!
  • If you’ve been in contact with anyone who is sick, wait 14 days to come in.

Sincerely,

Dr. Paul Monitto and Lisa


Ready To Serve: Chiropractic’s Role in COVID-19 Pandemic

For Immediate Release

March 20, 2020 (Raleigh, NC) The NC Chiropractic Association (NCCA) affirms that doctors of chiropractic are essential healthcare providers, ready to serve their communities both in daily care and in times of urgent need such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Doctors of Chiropractic are primary care physicians and represent an essential and necessary component of the health care program for patients of all ages and all walks of life in North Carolina. Timely and consistent access to chiropractic care is essential to the maintenance of the health and wellbeing of this patient population.

The association encourages jurisdictions at all levels to utilize chiropractic as an essential healthcare resource, especially during a pandemic when chiropractors can keep non-contaminated pain patients out of high-risk physician offices and hospitals. This assists these facilities to focus on those affected by COVID-19 and decreases overcrowding and contamination.

“The North Carolina Board of Chiropractic Examiners believes in the value of Doctors of Chiropractic being available to the public in this time of crisis,” said Dr. Kevin Sharp, President of the North Carolina Board of Chiropractic Examiners. “Whether it's caring for their patients in acute distress or helping take the burden of non infected musculoskeletal patients out of the Primary Care offices and Emergency rooms, Doctors of Chiropractic are uniquely positioned to provide that service in their communities.”
