Dr. Bobby Maybee, Chiropractor

We’ve been closed all this week, and even most of last week. And we will be closed all of next week. And then we will play it by ear from there as conditions permit.

However, the state still permits chiropractic care as an essential service (and even that might change). For our office I am defining “essential” as a patient or potential patient with acute/severe pain, trauma such as a motor vehicle accident, and radiating nerve pain. I will still see those cases, depending on a viral symptoms check of patient and doctor before we meet!

Once again, the office is open for one on one visits (and you can bring a guest/chaperone). It is best to keep musculoskeletal cases out of the ER and Medical Doctor offices right now if we can. Save that space for sick people.

If you have any concerns, send me a message! My patients already know I do this for their health first and foremost. Nothing else about what we do in our practice is more important.

Oh yeah and of course, wash your hands!

Patients:

I’m sure you’ve seen numerous updates and proclamations on your social media feeds concerning COVID-19 already. Here’s mine for you and your chiropractic care:

1. When it comes to public health advice, put your trust in actual public health authorities. They do this for a living. Yes there are plenty on social media with their version of the facts. No one compares to experts on this. CDC, WHO, and your local public health offices.

2. Our schedule hasn’t changed much since social distancing has been put in place. I believe that is because you awesome patients already know that you are in a concierge, one on one treatment environment. So the chances of being in contact with others are exceedingly slim.

3. Recently I’ve shown quite a few patients (with great pride) my reserve stock of cleaning items that we always have in store. We have enough supply of wipes, sanitizers, and cleaners to stay clean till 2050!! Credit for that of course goes to my lovely wife. Rest assured, we’re keeping it clean.

If you have any questions, or need direction to proper resources concerning COVID-19, don’t hesitate to ask. And if you’re feeling ill, stay at home.

This too shall pass.

People will try anything and buy anything to make their back pain stop. A whole industry is built up around that behavior. The facts are that conservative care and active self management are the best options.

Vast sums are wasted on treatments for back pain that make it worse Most patients should be prescribed exercise and patience, not invasive surgery

This common therapy for joint pain may do more harm than good The shots may speed up the progression of arthritis and hasten the need for surgery.
