Dear Patients
Though the spread of the Corona Virus is of great concern, it is important to remember that in most cases, patients recover fully and that in majority of cases, the symptoms and effects are no worse than those experienced by someone with who has a cold or “normal” flu.
The best weapon to combat the COVID-19 virus, as with any flu begins with building a strong immune system and maintaining good hygiene practices.
Chiropractic adjustments are imperative in creating homeostasis within the nervous system ensuring optimum parasympathetic functioning to maximise healing and repair.
Research has shown that regular chiropractic adjustments increases the levels of a specific signaling molecule in the body called Interleukin-2 which regulates the activities of white blood cells and enhances the function of the immune system.
Our focus is therefore to strengthen your body to better protect you from all infections including COVID-19.
Having said that we have been monitoring the spread of the virus and would like to assure you that we are following the guidelines and advice provided by the World Health Organisation, the South African National Institute for Communicable Diseases and the Chiropractic Association of South Africa.
As always, we are maintaining a high standard of hygiene within the practice, but in an effort to ensure everyone's continued health, we are implementing further infection control measures and would appreciate your assistance.
A positive outlook and managing feelings of fear and avoiding the misinformation relating to the spread of the virus, will go a long way toward maintaining your good health.
If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to discuss them with us.
We look forward to continuing to assist you to Get your Life Back.
