You may not immediately think about arthritis when you think about problems with your feet and ankles, but it isn’t at all uncommon for arthritis to affect those joints. Here are four kinds of arthritis we regularly see in patients.
To all our patients,
Cases of the corona virus pandemic have been reported in the Dallas Ft. Worth area. Although the virus is highly contagious, it only causes severe illness and death to the very old and very sick that have respiratory problems and weak immune systems.
However, as responsible citizen and health care givers we must not panic. Corona is like any other virus, and the spread can be prevented with common sense.Stay calm, ash your hands, avoid crowds,eat organic foods whenever possible, get plenty of rest and take basic vitamins and minerals.
Nevertheless, to keep our staff and our patients free of corona virus exposure, Alliance Foot & Ankle Specialists will impose safety measures to prevent any corona virus spread.
Anyone (patient or staff) must stay home if you have a viral infection until you recover (i.e. a fever of over 99 degress)
Steps we are taking to ensure you safety:
- Minimizing the time sent in the reception area.
- We are washing our hands between patients and using sanitizer often, as always.
- We are disinfecting the treatment rooms,reception area completely between patients with hospital-grade disinfectant
- And we are asking patient who are exhibiting fever, respiratory syntoms (other than seasonal allergies), or difficulty breathing to reschedule their appointment along with anyone who has traveled outside North America in the past few 14 days.
Alliance Foot & Ankle Specialists strives to provide optimal care to all our patients. Due to the pandemic, we all must work hard and think smart to stop the spread of the coronavirus. We are here to support you and your families with what we know and can do.
Wishing you the best of health,
Dr. Richard Nichols, Dr. Joseph Harvey, and staff
