This information will assist you in making an informed decision whether or not to have the treatment.

I request and consent to chiropractic adjustments and other chiropractic procedures, including various modes of physical therapy and diagnostic X-rays. The chiropractic treatment may be performed by the Doctor of Chiropractic named below and/or other licensed Doctors of Chiropractic working at this clinic or office.

I understand that, there are some risks to chiropractic treatment including, but not limited to:__ Broken bones __ increased symptoms and pain__ Dislocations __ No improvement of symptoms or pain__ Sprains/strains __ Infection (acupuncture)__ Burns or frostbite (physical therapy) __ Punctured lung (acupuncture)__ Worsening/aggravation of spinal conditions __ Other ___________________________

The complications reported can include temporary minor dizziness, nausea, paralysis, vision loss, locked in syndrome (complete paralysis of voluntary muscles in all parts of the body except for those that control eye movement), and death.

I do not expect the doctor to be able to anticipate and explain all risks and complications. I also understand that no guarantees or promises have been made to me concerning the results expected from the treatment.

I have read, or have had read to me, the above consent. I have also had an opportunity to ask questions. All of my questions have been answered to my satisfaction.
