Heading into school next week, this is a great point - and true for workplaces as well! How do we distinguish between COVID and the common cold? The answer is that we don’t. We keep symptomatic kids at home regardless. There are two reasons for this: (1) we don’t know that it’s not COVID until the child gets tested, so it’s best to err on the side of caution; and (2) an annoying thing happens when a child with asymptomatic COVID gets infected with something like the common cold. the sneezing and coughing caused by the cold could actually propel the COVID-containing respiratory droplets further. This means that any transmission advantage garnered by being asymptomatic is negated by the coughing and sneezing brought on by the cold.

Exciting news! The Ministry of Health recently announced that chiropractors and physiotherapists in Ontario are now allowed to return to work provided they are adhering to strict operational requirements. We are happy to announce that after 11 LONG weeks, we will be (carefully) opening our offices for chiropractic and physiotherapy appointments on Monday, June 1! We will be giving priority in the first weeks to urgent/acute cases as well as to patients who had appointments ca...ncelled at the onset of the pandemic. You will notice many changes around QCC, all of which are to protect your health and safety. Among them: Screening procedures (more than once) Sanitization stations Mandatory face masks Plexiglass at reception Increased sanitization and disinfection of surfaces, tables, and contact surfaces If you would like to book an appointment, please call us at (416) 699-0368 or email at [email protected]. We can’t wait to see you! Unfortunately, we are not currently booking any massage appointments as of yet. Please don’t hesitate to call or email for more information or to be contacted when RMT services resume.

Well, it’s been 8 full (long) weeks since we had to close our doors and since we can’t advise our wonderful patients in person, here’s something we’ve been getting a lot of questions about. Hope to see you all soon

UPDATE: Due to COVID-19, the College of Chiropractors of Ontario and other regulatory bodies have made the recommendation that our practitioners not treat patients at this time. Let's work together to play our part in social distancing and flattening the curve! As of right now, the clinic is CLOSED. We are still here for you! Please don't hesitate to email us and our naturopathic doctor may be able to see you through virtual appointments for urgent cases. For more information or to be notified when things change, please check back often, email us at [email protected] or call 416-699-0368.
