Yes, if they are following protocol: masks, wiping down between visits, limiting the number of patients in the office while your there with proper social distance. Chiropractic and massage will be great for your well-being.
You can absolutely see your massage therapist of chiropractor during the pandemic. States have mandated that services by chiropractor are essential, and massage has been deemed ok. Being in contact with someone does have it's risks but most facilities and professionals have protocols in place for your protection. I would ask your provider or treating physician what their methods of safety are and if your are comfortable treat!
Yes you can.
Yes, if your massage therapist works for your chiropractor no problem. If they are a separate entity it depends on your county and state.
Yes you can. You just want to make sure that your chiropractor is following strict CDC guidelines with regards to having a massage therapist wipe down the table and ensure she is wearing a mask as well.
Yes you can see both chiropractor and massage therapist. Make sure they are following CDC guidelines. This means, wearing a mask, disinfecting between patients and cleaning the area of treatment properly.
Hello,

Yes, you may see your chiropractor during this crisis. Chiropractic is considered an essential service and many offices have remained open. The office should still practice social distancing between the patients and masks should be worn by the providers and the patients if the state requires those policies. Massage therapists are back to work in most states now. Again, proper cleaning and masking should be evident if required.
I would say yes it is safe, wear a mask and wash your hands frequently.
That really depends on your state and local governments. Chiropractors are considered essential in the states of New Mexico and Texas where I practice. Make sure your chiropractor is following all of the laws and recommendations of the state board and malpractice carriers.
Definitely not safe. Salons/Spas cannot re-open while social distancing measures and regulations are in place. Even with one customer in at a time, employees and customers would still be coming into close physical proximity and contact with one another, and could spread COVID-19 to each other and throughout the community. That is true regardless of what other precautionary measures are taken. Social distancing is inherently impossible due to the nature of the business.
If you’re in Colorado, it has to be a very urgent matter or an emergency. If you’re in another state then your chiropractor is likely still open and I’d go see them. Massage is definitely closed right now.
I recommend calling your Chiro and Massage Therapist and asking them if they are open and seeing patients. It's important to make sure they are taking all precautions to protect their patients.
As long as your chiropractor is following CDC protocols, yes. I would recommend against massage at this time due to the need for close personal contact in a closed environment for prolonged periods of time. In Delaware, massage therapy has been temporarily shut down.
