Hi,
I hope this message finds you well. We are starting to open back up to our normal hours again. The last many weeks we have been operating on a condense and shortened schedule with new precautions. Going forward we will be adopting a lot of these new procedures for both the safety of you and your family as well as ours. If you have any questions or concerns please let us know. Outlined below are some of the procedures used. If you would like to schedule, give us a call at 708-926-2854 or you can email us back at finochiropractic@gmail.com. Have a wonderful week. 1. Patients are to remain in their vehicles until their appointment time. We want to try to only have one patient in the clinic at any given time. If you see Dr. Fino sitting at his desk and you are early to your appointment you may come in. 2. You will be given a COVID-19 Self-Assessment form to be filled out 3. Between each patient encounter Dr. Fino will continue to sanitize with either hand sanitizer or soap following the CDC guidelines. 4. Each table will continue to be sanitized between each patient. 5. All magazines, books, and reading material has been removed from the waiting area. 6. All children's toys have been removed. 7. No coffee, candy, or mints will be out. 8. As far as treatment, to avoid face to face contact we will no longer be treating you face up on the table. We are reducing all face to face contact to the best of our abilities. We will perform adjustments seated and lying face down only. 9. If anyone is experiencing any symptoms they are not allowed in the clinic. Please notify us if you or anyone in your household has experienced any symptoms of illness (including fever, cough, or flu-like symptoms) during the last 14 days. 10. If you are advised by a healthcare professional to "self quarantine" yourself due to recent travel or potential exposure to the virus, please notify us as soon as possible. 11. Cleaning measures around the clinic have been increased including but not limited to door knobs, bathrooms, high contact areas, and seating surfaces. I appreciate all of your help during this difficult time. As chiropractors we are an integral part of the health care system especially during the COVID-19 outbreak. Our goal is to keep musculoskeletal cases out of the emergency rooms, urgent aids, and primary care offices so that we can limit the spread of this infection. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Fino via email at finochiropractic@gmail.com . Thank you for your support and stay safe and healthy. If you have any questions about back health and things to avoid or things to help your low back contact us.
We will do a follow up video with some things to do to help ease low back pain. As a society we sit far to much, being in these flexed positions causes excess wear and tear to the low back. So when we try to stretch our low backs stop bending forward. Bending forward potentially increases the pressures in the low back and may be doing more harm than good. Have a great week and talk to you guys soon! Let us know if you have any questions. Pain with running? Stiffness in the hip, groin, or buttocks? Transitions out of chairs difficult? Dr. Fino talks about some things that we can do within the office to help.
