Hi everyone! As you are surely aware by now, Lee’s Summit is included in the regional Stay Home Mandate. As an essential business, Biggs Chiropractic & Acupuncture technically remains open. However, in order to adhere to the CDC and MDPH’s recommendations to cancel all non-urgent/maintenance/preventive appointments, we will only be seeing patients for Urgent/Emergency chiropractic issues at this time. The goal of this is to decrease everyone’s risk of transmission, but also to limit strain on other facilities such as Urgent Cares and ER’s as they provide the frontline response to COVID-19.
For our regular patients, *in general*, the following list of suggestions should help you maintain as well as possible in the meantime. If you have more specific questions on home care, definitely reach out to us, and Dr. Biggs would be happy to advise you more directly.
*Daily stretches
*Good hydration
*Daily light exercises, such as going for a walk
*Limit sweets
*Consistent bedtimes and 7-8 hours of sleep
*Deep breathing exercises to help with stress
*Foam roller or tennis ball trigger point therapy for tight or sore muscles
We will keep everyone posted and be checking in with our regular patients as time progresses through this situation. We look forward to getting back to our “regular” routine with you as soon as it is safe for everyone to do so. For now, please stay home as much as possible, be safe, be well, and absolutely reach out to us if you have any questions!
