COVID-19 UPDATE

The Ontario Government has recently announced new province-wide lockdown restrictions.

Health care is considered essential.  As such, Peak Chiro Plus is unaffected and remains open for in-person care.

We are operating with enhanced safety protocols in place so as to ensure the continued well-being of our patients, our staff and by association, our families and the community.

 

WHAT PEAK CHIRO PLUS IS DOING:

In keeping with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health and of our Regulating bodies we have implemented the following changes:

• Screening all staff & practitioners prior to entering the clinic for their shifts

• Screening patients in-person before entering the clinic

• We keep a updated Tracing Log with date, person screened and temperature reading

• Adding plexiglass shield at reception desk

• Offering touchless payment options (Direct billing, "Tap" Point of Sale Terminal, option to E-mail receipts)   

• Ensuring hand sanitizer is readily available at entrances and throughout the clinic   

• Limiting daily patient bookings to allow for physical distancing and for cleaning treatment rooms & equipment between appointments  

• Ensure recommended physical distancing of all staff & regular washing of hands   

• Removing all non-essential displays or reception/waiting area contents

• Sanitizing all reception and common areas at least once every 3 hours

• Sanitizing all treatment rooms & equipment between each patient visit

• Requiring patients to wear a mask while at all time while in the clinic

 

REDUCE YOUR STRESS by following these Action Steps:

Practice Physical Distancing:

• Go out to stores only if absolutely necessary (eg. Groceries)

• While outside, avoid crowds and maintain a two-metre distance

• When distancing is not possible, wear a surgical mask or other quality 3-layer face covering

Continue Practicing Good Hygiene:

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water

• Cough or sneeze into your sleeve, not your hands

• Keep hands away from your face (especially your eyes, nose and mouth)

Continue Boosting Your Immune System:

• Eat nutrient-dense foods, including vegetables, beans and nuts

• Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night

• Get at least 20 minutes of low-to-moderate intensity exercise per day

 

CONTINUING YOUR CARE:

Part of keeping well and decreasing stress levels includes SELF CARE.  This includes attention to diet, adequate sleep and exercise.  However, for many, this will eventually need to include hands-on, in-person care.  Rest assured that we are very serious in doing our part to ensure that both patients and our staff are afforded a safe place to interact.

 

As always, please know that we are here for you.  Do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions and/or require our services.​

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Nick Fava, Clinic Director
