Dear Patients,
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, Active Health & Wellness Clinic remains temporarily closed. We thank you for your support and understanding regarding this difficult time for us all. Even though we may not be able to fully offer you our normal hands-on assessment and treatment approach, we still have a couple of options for you.
We at Active Health want to keep you pain free, active and as healthy as possible during this crazy COVID time! As you may have heard Chiropractors have been designated an essential service by the BC government. We wish this meant back to regular business, but unfortunately it does not! We are still mandated under the directions of our Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry's advice and expectations. What this means for you is that we can only provide treatment for "emergent, urgent and or essential care."
What is considered "emergent, urgent and/or essential care? (According to the BC Chiropractic Association)
- The patient has an acute condition that, without care, would severely limit him or her from activities of daily living, and (or the patient has an acute condition that requires immediate attention to relieve pain or because his or her daily activities are severely limited, and)
- The Chiropractor can ensure that care will be provided in a manner that provides adequate protection against the risks of COVID-19 infection.
If you are in need of Emergency Chiropractic Care based on the above criteria please Click Here to go over our Clinic Safety Precautions and review our COVID-19 SCREENING questionnaire to make sure you are eligible for an in clinic treatment.
If your healthcare concerns aren't in urgent need of Emergency Hands-On Care then we recommend you book with either Dr. Starr for a TeleHealth appointment. This will allow us to have a socially distanced Chiropractic appointment via online video chat in the comfort of your own home. By TeleHealth we will be able to assess your current healthcare needs and provide you valuable self-care recommendations, education, guidance and exercise prescription protocols to help you with your injury or wellness care. More details regarding this effective option is available on our Telehealth page by clicking here.
Every week the COVID situation seems to be evolving and we will modify this page and send you an email (if on our email list) to keep you informed. We recommend you follow us on Facebook as well by clicking here! By doing so we can keep you up to date with announcements, get special offers and make Facebook healthy for you with tips and recommendations.
Hopefully we will soon be able to offer you our other clinic services (massage therapy and acupuncture) and we will let you know as soon as it is deemed safe to do so. Our therapists are missing you all so much!
We hope you are staying healthy while staying home! Take this time to enjoy time with your family and be creative with fun things to do at home. Use video chat technology to connect online with family and friends you cannot see in person. This is a difficult time for us all. We look forward to seeing you again very soon!
