Hagebusch Chiropractic remains open and we’re available for support to help people in Texarkana during this difficult time.
It should be noted that as I write this now according to an ER doctor I spoke to a few days ago, Texarkana has 3 confirmed cases. This is a rapidly changing situation.
They are all 3 from the same family that had recently traveled. The wife and child are recovering in isolation at home with flu type symptoms. The husband is in the hospital. Right now, the risks are very low to catch it.
This will likely change, but just know that we have the best critical care in the world and most people recover fine without ever having to use it.
At Hagebusch Chiropractic Texarkana, we are taking many additional precautions to significantly reduce risks.
If you have an appointment scheduled or want to schedule an appointment, here is what you need to know:
- If you have traveled to an area that is at a greater risk, then do not come in or schedule an appointment with us.
- We ask that elderly, those with chronic illnesses or on immuno-suppressant drugs to stay home for their own safety.
- If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: Fever of 100.4 and above, shortness of breath, sore throat, and cold or flu like symptoms then we also ask that you stay home to minimize any risk of spreading.
- Thank you for helping us comply with these evolving guidelines and keeping your fellow patients and our staff safe.
- We will also be conducting some videos and webinars soon to help you improve your pain, mobility, and general health soon.
- Dr. Hagebusch will soon be available for phone consultations and even telehealth video visits to walk you through activities of daily living, rehabilitation, and more. This may be covered by your insurance allowing you to still get care while remaining home.
Please know we are taking extra precautions in our efforts to keep the office a safe place.
- We have removed much of our waiting room in order to make it easier to disinfect frequently.
- We are disinfecting everything that is used in our clinic very often.
- The chiropractic table and therapy equipment is disinfected after every patient.
- I wash may hands after each patient. Stephanie (our front desk) is doing the same thing.
- We are frequently disinfecting the counter, the chairs that remain out, the counters, the doors, and anywhere else there are people.
- We significantly reduced the number of people that are at the clinic at any one time. Please keep your appointment time so that we can continue to keep this policy.
The most important thing you can do right now is to improve your health.
Focus on what you can control and not what you can not.
The overwhelming majority of people who do get infected with the virus are fine.
The best way under your control to improve your health including your immune system, is to adopt consistent daily healthy habits.
In a previous post, I discussed a fascinating famous case of a person who ‘cured‘ his incurable disease by focusing on his health and reducing stress. Please read it.
I also strongly recommend avoiding all the doomsday predictions in the news and social media.
Take some precautions, but playing the odds… you and your family will be fine. Again, focus on what you can control and taking positive action rather than getting too stressed out about something you can not control.
If you have any questions, feel free to call the office to talk with either Stephanie or me.
We’re here for you!
