COVID-19 Safety Precautions

In order to help keep a clean and safe environment for our healing community, we are taking several extra safety precautions which are outlined below. ​Thank you for helping to keep our offices a safe ​healing space for all.
Pre-Screening
  • All patients will be pre-screened before their appointment. You will receive a Patient Advisory and Acknowledgement For Receiving Treatment Sessions During COVID-19 via my scheduling system Jane, 24 hours before your appointment. Please fill out and sign this form at least 1 hour before your scheduled appointment time. 
  • You may be asked to stay home and reschedule your appointment if:
    • You have experienced any cold, flu, or possible COVID-19 symptoms in the last 3 days. Please following CDC guidelines for testing and self-quarantine.
    • You have had a possible known exposure to COVID-19 in the last 14 days. Please follow CDC guidelines for testing and self-quarantine.
    • You have no symptoms, but have had a positive COVID-19 test result in the last 10 days. Please follow CDC guidelines for testing and self-quarantine. 
    • If you have traveled internationally in the last 7 days. Please follow CDC guidelines for testing and self-quarantine.

Mask Policy
  • Sunset Healing Arts:  Please wear a mask to your appointment. I will wear a mask while in the treatment room with you. 
  • New Life Chiropractic:  Masks are optional.

Patient PPE and Appointment Protocols
  • Please wear loose comfortable clothing to your appointment so that your arms and legs are easily accessible. Consider the parts of the body that I may need to access. For example, consider wearing a tank top with thin straps and a low back if cupping the upper back is necessary, or consider wearing shorts if you are coming in for knee pain.
  • ​Please proceed to the bathroom to wash your hands before heading to the treatment room.
  • After your treatment, payment will be charged electronically to your credit card on file.

Sanitizing Protocols
  • Treatment tables, face cradles and bolsters will be sanitized between every patient.
  • Note that we will not be using blankets. We have heat lamps, space heaters and extra sheets if necessary to keep you warm during your treatments.
  • Wrist pillows will be covered with something washable or disposable and changed between patients. 
  • Hands will be washed before handling clean laundry. Laundry will be stored and washed in accordance with acupuncture council guidelines.

Practitioner Health, Safety and PPE
  • I will properly wash my hands immediately upon arrival to the office, and as needed before entering and after leaving the treatment room.
  • I will be wearing designated work clothes, and will change clothes if necessary between patients. ​​
  • I will stay home and cancel our appointment if:
    • I have had any cold, flu, or possible COVID-19 symptoms in the last 3 days and have not had a negative COVID-19 test result, and will follow recommended CDC guidelines before returning to work.
    • I have had a possible known exposure to COVID-19 in the last 14 days, and will follow recommended CDC guidelines before returning to work.
    • I have no symptoms, but have had a positive COVID-19 test result in the last 10 days, and will follow recommended CDC guidelines before returning to work.
    • I have traveled internationally in the last 7 days, and will follow recommended CDC guidelines before returning to work.​
