EMERGENCY CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES - Urgent Covid-19 Update

There are important developments in the COVID-19 crisis here in NY. Empire State Development has updated the guidance on the definition of Essential Services. It has now been formalized and includes language which notes 'emergency chiropractic services' are essential. This would indicate that face to face chiropractic services that are non-emergency would not be considered essential.

As previously directed, all care should be medically necessary during this crisis and elective care should be deferred. Necessary chiropractic care for workers functioning essential business capacities may also be considered essential. Please use your best clinical judgment and decision making on what care is urgent and represents an emergency chiropractic service. For non-urgent and elective services telemedicine services remain an option.

We are also actively working to achieve clarity and will update you all as soon as possible.
