I hereby request and consent to the performance of chiropractic adjustments and other chiropractic procedures, including various modes of physical therapy and diagnosis x-rays, on me (or on the patient named below, for whom I am legally responsible) by the doctor of chiropractic named below and/or her preceptor and/or other licensed doctors of chiropractic who now or in the future treat me while employed by, working or associated with, or serving as back-up for the doctor of chiropractic named below, including those working at the clinic or office listed below or any other office or clinic.

I have had an opportunity to discuss with the doctor named below and/or with other office or clinic personnel the nature and purpose of chiropractic adjustments and other procedures. I understand and am informed that, as in the practice of medicine, in the practice of chiropractic there are some risks to treatment including, but not limited to, fractures, disc injuries, strokes, dislocations and sprains. It is not reasonable to expect the doctor to be able to anticipate and explain all risks and complications of a given procedure on any particular visit, and I wish to rely on the doctor to exercise judgment during the course of the procedure which the doctor feels at the time, based upon all facts then known, it is in my best interests.

Chiropractic treatment involves the science, philosophy and art of locating and correcting spinal misalignments and as such is oriented toward improvement of spinal function relative to range of motion, muscular and neurological aspects. There has been no promise, implied or otherwise, of a cure for any symptom, disease or condition as a result of treatment in this clinic. I understand that the chiropractor will use her hands or a mechanical device upon my body to adjust a joint, which may cause an audible "pop" or "click". It is my intention to rely on the doctor to exercise professional judgment during the course of any procedures, which she feels at the time to be in my best interest. Neither the practice of chiropractic or medicine is an exact science, but relies upon information related by the patient, information gathered during examination, and the doctor's interpretation thereof, as well as the doctor's judgment and expertise in working with like cases.

I understand that as part of my healthcare, the Practice originates and maintains health records describing my health history, symptoms, examination and test results, diagnosis, treatment, and any plans for future care or treatment. I understand that this information serves as a basis for planning my care and treatment, a means of communication among other health professionals who may contribute to my care: a source of information for applying my diagnosis and treatment information to my bill; and a means by which a third-party payer can verify that services billed were actually provided.

I have read, or have had read to me, the information Consent to Chiropractic Adjustments and care. I have also had an opportunity to ask questions about its content, and by signing below I agree to the above-named procedures. I intend this consent form to cover the entire course of treatment for my present condition and for any future condition(s) for which I seek treatment.
