COVID-19 Update:

Lucid Chiropractic Clinic is built around you and your well being, and will continue as such even in the pandemic world. It is imperative that we continue to act respectfully and responsibly in our actions towards each other, especially in these unprecedented times.

CLINICAL PROCEDURES:

The best tools available to protect and serve you as a chiropractic patient are A.) thorough screening protocols and B.) thorough cleaning and distancing protocols.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL:
-> Pass pre-visit screening* questions 📋
-> Wear a proper mask 😷
-> Wash hands thoroughly before and after each visit 👋

*as of 02/01/21, pre-visit screening is done via an emailed survey through the EHR system, Jane. Patients are responsible for reporting any symptoms and, if prompted, reach out to Dr Olie before their appointment via text, to discuss whether it is appropriate to proceed as scheduled.

SCREENING PROTOCOLS:

The screening process is being continuously updated to account for rules, recommendations, and advisories passed down from federal, state, and local officials. At this point, the screening survey applies to the person taking the survey, and anyone who will be in the office with them during their appointment (ie: child, parent, caregiver).

Screening questions include:

  • Assessment of recent potential COVID-19 symptoms. This includes recent cough, fever, shortness of breath, or new loss of taste or smell. If you have had a symptom of COVID-19 in the 10 days preceding your visit, you will either need to reschedule your appointment or text Dr Olie to discuss a special permission to come in to the office. If you have had an exposure to COVID-19 in the 10 days preceding your visit, please wear a high quality mask (n95, kn95 or similar) for your appointment.

  • Assessment of recent contact, risk, or exposure to COVID-19. This includes recent testing for COVID-19, as well as recent diagnosis, suspicion, or exposure to COVID-19.

  • In short, if you have a reason why the CDC or local health officials would tell you to quarantine, you cannot come in to the office. In addition to travel-related self-quarantine, the CDC has this great resource explaining when to quarantine.

UNIVERSAL MASKING:

Masks are required (for everyone ages 2 and up) in Lucid Chiropractic Clinic, in all common areas of the building.

A proper mask is one that covers your nose and mouth, and secured to the head in a way that minimizes gaps and promotes filtration of respirations. Masks should be well-fitted, and made from tight-knit breathable fabric. Masks with unfiltered outflow valves are not acceptable for use at Lucid. The CDC has many resources on masks, and considerations for masks.

CLEANING AND DISTANCING PROTOCOLS:

The schedule and furnishings of Lucid Chiropractic Clinic have been arranged so that patients will have no contact with other patients. All patients maintain at least a 6 ft distance, even if visits overlap.

HEPA air purifiers run in the office at all times, circulating the air through filtration about 4x per hour.

All touched surfaces are appropriately disinfected between visits.

During visits, the chiropractor wears a mask and (upon request or clinical necessity) a face shield, and all non-adjusting interactions are done at a distance of at least 6 feet.

Patients are reminded to wash their hands thoroughly before and after appointments. Non-patient guests must pass the same screening and temperature criteria.

OTHER CHANGES:

All prospective patient consultations are now done over the phone or Telehealth video chat. Scheduling a consultation can still be done through the website, www.lucidchiropractic.com using the NEW/PROSPECTIVE PATIENTS button at the bottom of the screen.

Please, protect each other. The real threat comes from those that spread COVID-19 unknowingly, carelessly. Please, let every time you wash your hands be a show of kindness and appreciation to everyone you know. Remember that breaking plans doesn’t mean breaking connections. I appreciate all of you.

Best,
Olie
