Informed Consent for Chiropractic Care
When a patient seeks chiropractic health care and we accept a patient for such care, it is essential for both to be working
for the same objective. It is important that each patient understand both the objective and the method that will be used to
attain it. This will prevent any confusion or disappointment. You have the right, as a patient, to be informed about the
condition of your health and the recommended care and treatment to be provided so that you may make the decision
whether or not to undergo chiropractic care after being advised of the known benefits, risks and alternatives.
Chiropractic is a science and art which concerns itself with the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and
function (primarily the nervous system) as that relationship may effect the restoration and preservation of health. Health
is a state of optimal physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
One disturbance to the nervous system is called a vertebral subluxation. This occurs when one or more of the 24
vertebrae in the spinal column become misaligned and/or do not move properly. This causes alteration of nerve function
and interference to the nervous system. This may result in pain and dysfunction or may be entirely asymptomatic.
Subluxations are corrected and/or reduced by an adjustment. An adjustment is the specific application of forces to correct
and/or reduce vertebral subluxation. Our chiropractic method of correction is by specific adjustments of the spine.
Adjustments are usually done by hand but may be performed by handheld instruments. In addition, ancillary procedures
such as physiotherapy and/or rehabilitative procedures may be included.
If during the course of care we encounter non-chiropractic or unusual findings, we will advise you of those findings and
recommend that you seek the services of another health care provider.
All questions regarding the doctor’s objective pertaining to my care in this office have been answered to my complete
satisfaction. The benefits, risks and alternatives of chiropractic care have been explained to me to my satisfaction. I have
read and fully understand the above statements and therefore accept chiropractic care on this basis.

According to the state of Washington:
Chiropractic treatment or care includes the use of procedures involving spinal adjustments and extremity manipulation.
Chiropractic treatment also includes the use of heat, cold, water, exercise, massage, trigger point therapy, dietary advice
and recommendation of nutritional supplementation, the normal regimen and rehabilitation of the patient, first aid, and
counseling on hygiene, sanitation, and preventive measures. Chiropractic care also includes such physiological
therapeutic procedures as traction and light, but does not include procedures involving the application of sound,
diathermy, or electricity.
Anything done in my office outside these guidelines is not chiropractic care.
We keep a record of the health care services we provide you. You may ask us to see and copy that record. You may also
ask us to correct that record. We will not disclose your record to others unless you direct us to do so or unless the law
authorizes or compels us to do so. You may see your record or get more information about it by contacting our office.
Communication to the doctor regarding subjective symptoms, if any, is the responsibility of the patient. Be sure to note
any changes including any new accidents, injuries or changes to your health status.
