Due to your generosity, we were able to collect 143 lbs of food for the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore. We also raised $260 for the National Junior Honor Society which will be used towards various community outreach programs. Thank you so much for making this possible. It feels good to help people and motivates me to want to do more projects like this in the future.

Whether you’re a casual competitor or an Olympian, chiropractic care is a tried and tested technique that helps athletes continue to train and compete at peak performance. In addition to relieving pain, chiropractors use spinal manipulation and rehabilitative exercise to enhance range of motion, flexibility, balance, muscle strength and more for athletes of all abilities, even inspiring top athlete, Dr. Erica Witter-Davis, to join the profession.

Working from home doesn't have to take its toll on your body. Take several exercise breaks throughout the day, even if only to empty the dishwasher, put in a load of laundry, climb the stairs a few times, do yoga, dance, or take a short walk.

Massage therapy services have resumed in our office. In addition to enhanced sanitizing protocols, each treatment room now has an air purifier with a UV filter. We also have UV lamps to use on a regular basis to sanitize the room. Our therapists will be wearing masks and we ask you to also wear a mask during your massage. If you do not have a mask or if you forget to bring a mask, you can purchase one at the front desk for $5, which was our purchase price per mask. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please call us at 686-3716!

Hands Down Better (April 2020)

We are continuously monitoring the COVID-19 situation to understand and follow current guidelines set by Governor Northam, the American Chiropractic Association, the Unified Virginia Chiropractic Association and the CDC. Based upon today's updated guidelines, we are temporarily suspending massage therapy services beginning 3/25/2020. However, Doctors of Chiropractic are considered essential providers as we specialize in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions that may help patients limit primary care, urgent care and emergency room settings, allowing those providers to more readily treat those with respiratory symptoms. We will continue to be open for chiropractic care and acupuncture, taking all of the recommended precautions.

Our main priority at Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture has always been your health, comfort, and safety. With that in mind, we wanted to let you know that we are closely monitoring the ongoing situation due to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), and doing all we can to protect you and the community.

We are taking all precautions in relation to the Coronavirus outbreak. In addition to our usual cleaning/sanitizing procedures, we have enhanced our schedule to include even more frequent sanitizing of all surfaces.

As you know, our staff size is small and we do not have a large number of simultaneous patients in the office at one time, unlike a gym or large physical therapy clinic. We are being mindful about limiting the number of people in the office at any given time.

That being said, IF you have traveled to any areas impacted by a widespread outbreak, are sneezing, coughing, have a fever, or experiencing shortness of breath or having other respiratory symptoms, please call our office ahead of time and we will be happy to reschedule your appointment.
For any questions or concerns, please give our office a call at 757-686-3716.
