With the shelter-in-place order issued by Governor Walz yesterday the MCA has issued new recommendations regarding chiropractic clinics. While chiropractors are considered "essential" in the state of Minnesota the MCA has issued the recommendation that chiropractors should not treat patients for regular maintenance or sub-acute cases. This constitutes the majority of our practice. There is some allowance made for significant emergency cases. After reviewing the MCA guidelines, we feel it is in the best interest of staff, patients, and our community to keep our practice closed until the shelter-in-place order is lifted. We know this could be a challenge for those who love their regular adjustments but we feel that in these unprecedented times it is of utmost importance to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and "bend the curve" so our country can more effectively treat critical cases. This is how we win against this. It buys us time to build ventilators, specialized ICU units, medications, medical supplies, etc. We love treating each and every one of you and can't wait to get back at it. We are here for you if you need to talk. You can either call the office at 651-429-6000 and we will get in touch with you. We WILL be here for you when this is over. Yours in health, Dr. Arvig.
