2 Informed Consent for Chiropractic Treatment Clinicians who use spinal manual therapy techniques, such as for example, joint adjustment or manipulation or mobilization, are required to inform patients that there are or may be some risks associated with such treatment. In particular: a) While rare, some patients have experienced muscle and ligament sprains or strains, or rib fractures following spinal manual therapy. b) There have been reported cases of injury to a vertebral artery following neck adjustment, manipulation and mobilization. Such vertebral artery injuries may on rare occasion cause stroke, which may result in serious neurological injury and/or physical impairment. This form of complication is an extremely rare event, occurring about 1 time per 1 million treatments. c) There have been reported cases of disc injuries following spinal manual therapy, although no scientific study has ever demonstrated that such injuries are caused, or may be caused, by adjustment or manipulative techniques and such cases are also very rare. Treatments provided at this office, including spinal adjustment, manipulation and/or mobilization, have been the subject of much research conducted over many years and have been demonstrated to be appropriate and effective treatments for many common forms of spinal pain, pain in the shoulders/arms/legs, headaches and other similar symptoms. Treatment provided here may also contribute to your overall well-being. The risk of injury or complication from manual treatment is substantially lower than the risk associated with many medications, other treatments and procedures frequently given as alternative treatments for the same forms of musculoskeletal pain and other associated syndromes. Dr. Tansey will evaluate your individual case, provide an explanation of care and a suggested treatment plan, or alternatively a referral for consultation and/or further evaluation if deemed necessary. Acknowledgement: I acknowledge I have discussed, or have been given the opportunity to discuss, with Dr. Tansey the nature of chiropractic treatment in general and my treatment in particular as well as the contents of this consent. Consent: I consent to the chiropractic treatments offered or recommended to me by Dr. Tansey, including joint adjustment or manipulation or mobilization to the joints of my spine (neck and back), pelvis and extremities (shoulder, upper limbs and lower limbs). I intend this consent to apply to all my present and future treatments at this clinic.
