COVID-19 Update
As concern for the coronavirus continues, we want to do our part to inform our patients of what we are doing to help keep you safe and provide continued treatment options during this time.
Reichbach Center will continue to operate as usual but with an enhanced focus on sanitizing our treatment rooms, environmental cleanliness, and your overall safety. We are already doing everything we can to provide a safe environment for our patients and staff.
The safety and well-being of our patients is always our number one priority. We have implemented the following changes to help provide further safety and comfort and reduce any risk to you and your family members.
Here are some changes that we have already made.
- Our staff has been updated and trained on all methods of transmission and how to control them
- Our location has already been and will continue to be fully cleaned and sanitized
- Handwashing or hand sanitizing is required for everybody entering our practice
- All staff, visitors, and patients are asked to stay home if they have any signs of a contagious disease or are not feeling well (coughing, fever, sore throat, etc.)
- All treatment rooms are sanitized between each infusion
- We encourage you to bring your own pillow and blanket from home that has already been cleaned by you.
- Per CDC guidelines, masks are no longer mandatory if you have been fully vaccinated. This is based on an honor system and we ask that you be honest about your vaccine status to ensure the safety of our staff and clientele. Masks are available, if needed
If you have an existing infusion scheduled, we encourage you to keep your appointment unless we inform you otherwise. If you need a booster infusion, please contact us today so we can get you scheduled right away.
The quick onset and the spread of this virus has been alarming for many, and it’s natural to feel anxiety or stress. The staff at Reichbach Center encourages you to try and take a step back and breathe a little more during this time. We are here for you, and we will get through this together.
Below are a few things you can do to help manage anxiety naturally.
Manage Anxiety Naturally
Be Active
Regular physical activity and exercise are important for both physical and emotional health. In fact, exercise can be just as effective as medication for some people according to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America.
Avoid Substance Abuse
The symptoms of anxiety can be stressful, and some may turn to harmful substances like alcohol or cigarettes to try to find relief. Unfortunately, this only puts off the symptoms temporarily and you can develop further anxiety or even depression because of how they make you feel.
Limit Your Caffeine Intake
Caffeine is seen as a necessary part of life for many of us, but the primary symptoms of anxiety, like general nervousness and jitters, may be made worse by excessive caffeine intake.
Get Plenty of Sleep
Many with anxiety also experience insomnia. If you are struggling with sleep as well, try only sleeping at night when you feel tired, not reading or watching TV in bed, minimizing the use of electronic devices early in the day, and avoiding caffeine and large meals before bedtime.
Meditation
Meditation is a centuries-old technique for removing chaotic thoughts and returning your mindset to something calm and serene. In fact, just half an hour of meditation a day can relieve some symptoms of anxiety according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Diet
Some people experience mood changes because of low blood sugar levels, dehydration, or ingredients of processed foods, like artificial flavors and colors, and preservatives. If you find that your anxiety gets worse after eating, you may be on a diet that is contributing to your symptoms. Try drinking lots of water, cutting down on processed foods, and eating foods high in complex carbohydrates or lean proteins.
Deep Breathing
People have used deep breathing as a relaxation technique for hundreds of years. Try to focus on inhaling and exhaling evenly and deeply.
Find Something to Distract Yourself With
Try taking a walk or eating your lunch outside today instead. Anything that can disrupt your usual train of thought can help relieve your anxiety symptoms.
Self-Care
It is important to take time for yourself now and again to take care of your needs and spend time doing activities that you enjoy.
Clean Up
Despite how cliché it sounds, the old idiom of “a cluttered desk is a cluttered mind” rings true. Take some time to clean up the clutter around you—you may be surprised to see how much better you feel.
As always, if you or a loved one has any questions for us, please give us a call or send us an email, and a member of our staff will be glad to help.
