Public service announcement, not a political statement. Holy smokes, an inexpensive readily available cure was available all along. Who would have thought something out there would at the very least reduce the fatality rate among those worst afflicted? Not the media. https://www.henryford.com/news/2020/07/hydro-treatment-study?fbclid=IwAR2p9WPDx_gtah4SzD7voXuiwuEAnrGjy-1EObxImrA1lcotEbMUy2yWJyU #.Xv-u7wvtQ8g.facebook

Good-ish news.

While the below doesn't imply that I am taking any less precautions to slow the spread, I find the information promising and I am here, ready, willing and able, to help you with your spinal health needs.

USC and the health department released preliminary study results that found that roughly 4.1% of the county’s adult population has antibodies to the coronavirus, estimating that between 221,000 adults to 442,000 adults in the county have had the infection.

This new estimate is 28 to 55 times higher than the 7,994 confirmed cases of COVID-19 [coronavirus illness] reported to the county in early April. The number of coronavirus-related deaths in the county has now surpassed 600, according to the Department of Public Health. The data, if correct, would mean that the county’s fatality rate is lower than originally thought.

Stanford University researchers who looked at California’s Santa Clara County, reached similar conclusions, finding that the COVID-19 outbreak may be more widespread but far less deadly than originally estimated.

The Stanford University researchers found that between 2.5 percent and 4.2 percent of county residents had antibodies to the coronavirus by early April, the Los Angeles Times reported on Friday, adding:

Though the county had reported roughly 1,000 cases in early April, the Stanford researchers estimate the actual number was between 48,000 and 81,000, or 50 to 85 times greater.

Earlier this month, Economist magazine had already cited another study that found the new novel coronavirus had spread faster but was far less deadly than official data implied.

The coronavirus mortality rate could be as low as 0.1 percent, “similar to that of flu,” the researchers cited by the Economist found, noting that the faster the disease spreads and hits its peak, the fewer people will die.

If these numbers hold true, that would mean this virus is far less deadly than we’ve been told, and other researchers are starting to agree.

Very interesting take on this topic and one that resonates with my own thoughts about this crisis. Not to make light, but to comprehend the disparity in facts.

Here's what we're doing at Ed Camp Chiropractic to reduce COVID-19 risk in the office:

Screening form answered and signed before admittance to the office.

Asking patient to WASH THEIR HANDS before entering the office.

Wiping down all commonly-touched surfaces with anti-viral wipes/spray between EVERY patient -- especially the headpiece of table, arm rests, desk, patient chair arms, etc.

Keeping tissues handy throughout the office. Reminding patients to throw away the tissue after they use it -- not put it in their pocket (which would re-infect their hands each time they used it)

Encouraging patients (and staff) to use the "vampire" cough (into the crook of the elbow) or down the front of their shirt to prevent spread of aerosols.

Please come in if you believe these measures are adequate for your protection.

Pandemic does not refer to the lethality of a virus but to its transmissibility and geographical extension.

There is an incredible amount of panic around the Corona Virus. Many believe the "Death rate" is nominal as the current stats only talk about those who have been identified as being exposed. There are MANY who have been exposed and have no symptoms. So I caution you not to buy into the Armageddon atmosphere around this. I think its more likely that people in the governments and press are all shorting the market profiting by the panicked conditions they are creating.
Yes it real, yes its a bad cold. Take Rational precautions. 1) Stop shaking hands, be like the cool kids fist bump. 2) Wash your hands 20 seconds often particularly after touching metal or monies. (Funny how money is dirty..... literally!) 3) don't touch your mouth nose or eyes after potential exposure. 4) Cough into your elbow instead of your hands. 5) Keep your hugging strangers to a minimum. Lastly, just don't buy into the its the end of the world idea being bandied about by the press. While its not the greatest thing Corona Virus isn't the worst to come along as we are being told.

Why More Than One Visit?

Patients often get confused on why chiropractic care can take more than one visit? Allow me to explain.

Think of chiropractic care as another form of rehab. If you injured your knee skiing and had to go to a Physical Therapist you would not be surprised and actually, would expect the rehab to take multiple visits for several weeks or months depending on the severity of the injury. Chiropractic care is the same. Often the patient does not have a ski accident, rather they have an injury due to repetitive micro-trauma accumulated over time or an accident injury. So in fact chiropractors ARE rehabbing injuries.

How long will the care take or what is my prognosis? This depends on the goal of the patient. Let’s take a look at some possible patient goals and what each choice may entail.

Possible Goal #1 Pain management: If the patient just wants pain relief, this may take only one visit or a maybe life time. The length of the care plan depends on what is driving the pain. Here is a chart to give you an idea of what to expect. (These are purely estimates of course, your condition may require more or less time due to the severity. Results also depend on if the patient continues to exacerbate their own condition.)

Cause Time To Resolve Adjustments needed
Acute Muscle Spasm One day to 3 weeks 1 - 10
Acute Inflammation One day to 3 weeks 1 - 12
Chronic Inflammation One day to 12 months 1- lifetime care
Adhesion One day to 12 months 1- lifetime care
Joint Degeneration One day to 12 months 1-lifetime care

Possible Goal #2 Restore function: If the patient wants proper function restored this will always take longer. In this case the patient must understand that once the pain is gone the problem is NOT resolved. Most people believe the opposite is true. Pain is almost always the first thing to go, and this is when many patients stop care. For soft tissue to heal completely and properly the textbook says it may take up to one year or never, as sometimes soft tissue is damaged to a point where it will NOT recover 100%! (I know you didn’t want to hear that)

Possible Goal #3 Wellness maintenance care: This type of care will probably have you visiting the chiropractor 1-4 times a month. A patient chooses this option when they already are feeling good and want to prevent the dreaded repetitive micro-trauma from occurring, thus avoiding pain in the first place. OF COURSE there are many non-pain related benefits of chiropractic, which is a huge unknown by the general public .Please read the benefits of chiropractic or the negative effects of deconditioning syndrome. Both of these will give you an idea of all the positive effects of chiropractic other than pain relief.

The Gift of Good Health!

For many of us the holiday season is one of happiness and joy. Others may find it rife with stress and aggravation, I guess it depends on ones mindset. Those for whom its a stressful time, tend to focus on everyone else and not themselves, and this is where you might intervene.

You can purchase your friends a gift certificate for either Chiropractic Care or a new pair of orthotics. If you have someone in your life complaining about their aches and pains; the gift of good health might be just what they need.
While they are busy focusing on what they might do for others, you could give them something to shift focus to themselves. What better thing to do for someone than to ease their discomfort.

Stress is often a silent killer.

If someone is rushing about trying to please their friends and family, they often forget to take care of themselves. These are the folks who try very hard to smile but alas may be hunched over, or limping through their days looking somewhat out of sorts. Often times we are the ones who see it as we are like them, paying attention to those around us. The gift of good health can be a way to help them help themselves.

If you have one of these folks in your life, do them a favor and call today at 415 922-2225 to get them a gift of good health. Believe me they will appreciate it more than you can imagine. Gift Certificates do not run out, and can be redeemed at any time convenient to the recipient. You can specify the amount of the certificate to cover as little as one visit, or multiple pairs of orthotics. The choice is yours.

I look forward to being of service to you all, and to all.... a merry holiday season.
