COMPLAINTS:

I have received a copy of the Privacy Notice I understand my rights as well as the practices duty to protect my health information, and have conveyed my understanding of these rights and duties to the doctor. I further understand that this office reserves the right to amend this 'Notice of Privacy Practice" at a time in the future and will make the new provisions effective for all information that it maintains past and present.

Informed Consent to Chiropractic Care:

Chiropractic care centrally involves what is known as a chiropractic adjustment. There may be additional supportive procedures or recommendations as well. Potential benefits of an adjustment include restoring normal joint motion, reducing swelling and inflammation in a joint, reducing pain in the joint, and improving neurological functioning and overall well-being.

I have been advised that chiropractic care, like all forms of health care, holds certain risks. While the risks are most often very minimal, in rare cases, complications such as sprain/strain injuries, irritation of a disc condition, and although rare, minor fractures, and possible stroke, which occurs at a rate between once per one million to one per two million, have been associated with chiropractic adjustments.

I understand there may be treatment options available for my condition other than chiropractic procedures. These options may include, but are not limited to: self-administered care, over-the-counter pain relievers, physical measures and rest, medical care with prescription drugs, physical therapy, bracing, injections, and surgery. 

Treatment objectives as well as the risks associated with chiropractic adjustments and, all other procedures provided  have been explained to me to my satisfaction and I have conveyed my understanding of both to the doctor. After careful consideration, I do hereby consent to treatment by any means, method, and or techniques, the doctor deems necessary to treat my condition at any time throughout the entire clinical course of my care.

Consent for Diagnostic X-rays:

During your examination, the doctor may feel that x-rays will be needed in order to diagnose your condition. In addition, they may be required in order to administer treatment. 

Females Only:

• I understand that if I am pregnant and have x-rays taken which expose my lower torso to radiation, it is possible to injure the fetus.
• I am aware that the ten (10) days following the onset of a menstrual period are generally considered to be safe for x-ray exams.
• By my signature below I am acknowledging the risks of hazardous effects of ionization to an unborn child, and I have conveyed my understanding of the risks associated with exposure to x-rays.
