Patients of Dr. King and Dr. Parsons,
We hope this note finds you healthy and holding up! Our staff remain well, and we hope the same for all of
our patients and their families.
We remain committed to providing care while respecting the recommendations of the CDC, Surgeon General,
State Medical Board and local hospitals.
These recommendations include limiting in-office visits to recent surgical follow-up visits and those who
feel their need or concern is urgent. The purpose of reducing the schedule is to maintain a safe environment
for our patients and staff.
We do have the ability to provide telemedicine consultations for any follow-up or even the evaluation of new
problems. As always you may reach us by phone at 603-431-5858 to schedule
either type of visit, and we will
make every effort to accommodate you.
*Keep in mind that if weather permits it is a healthy practice to go for a walk (keeping "social distancing"
in mind).
Moving is good for your joints and outlook! If you were previously being treated by a physical therapist and
the clinic has closed, please set aside time daily to do the exercises you were instructed on.
Also, there is likely someone available by phone at your physical therapy clinic should you have questions.
They are also there to help!
Don't forget about RICE
Rest when you feel you need to.
Ice your painful joint 15-20 minutes 3x/daily.
Compression, sometimes intermittent use of a knee sleeve or an ace bandage (not too tight) may provide pain
relief.
Elevate your painful joint for comfort and to reduce swelling if needed.
We, like everyone, will continue to follow the COVID-19 situation and will make adjustments as needed and
keep you up to date.
Thank you!
