4 Peterson Physical Therapy is a hands-on Physical Therapy clinic. Treatment consists of manual therapy techniques including bone and soft tissue mobilizations and manipulations and trigger point dry needling (TDM) as well as neuromuscular re-education, prescriptive therapeutic exercise, gait training, and functional activities. Some forms of treatment may require deep pressure and cause some transient soreness or even bruising. This is not unusual and is rarely a concern but you are encouraged to contact your clinician with any questions or concerns. The number of treatments needed and the recovery time can vary due to age of injury, repetitive nature of the injury, patient s lifestyle and co-morbidities, and the patient s age as well as other contributing factors. Response to treatment varies from person to person therefore constant assessment and reassessment of the client is necessary for efficient treatment strategy and planning. It is your right to decline any part of your treatment at any time before or during the treatment session. It is your right to ask your Physical Therapist about the treatment they have planned based on your individual history, diagnosis, symptoms, and examination. Consequently, it is your right to discuss the potential risks and benefits involved in your treatment. Be advised that should your therapist suggest Trigger Point Dry Needling (TDN) as a part of your treatment plan you must also sign a separate consent form outlining the risks associated with that treatment modality if you agree to the plan. I have read and fully understand the above statements. I understand the nature of the treatments at Peterson Physical Therapy, LLC. I authorize Chris Peterson, MPT, MBA and Susan Peterson, MPT, DPT to use treatment techniques as deemed necessary and within the State of Maryland Physical Therapy Practice Act for my safe and effective recovery. I have read and completely understand the above written statements. Please Print Your Name Date Signature of Patient/Guardian

5 TDN involves placing a small needle into the muscle at the trigger point. This is typically in an area where the muscle is tight and may be tender. The needle is introduced with the intent of causing the muscle to contract and then release, improving the flexibility of the muscle and therefore decreasing the symptoms. The performing therapist will not stimulate any distal or auricular points during the dry needling treatment. TDN is a valuable treatment for musculoskeletal related pain such as soft tissue and joint paint, as well as to increase muscle performance. Like any treatment there are possible complications. While these complications are rare in occurrence, it is recommended you read through the possible risks prior to giving consent to treatment. Risks of the procedure: Though unlikely, there are risks associated with this treatment. The most serious risk associated with TDN is accidental puncture of a lung (pneumothorax). If this were to occur, it may likely only require a chest x-ray and no further treatment as it can resolve on its own. The symptoms of pain and shortness of breath may last for several days to weeks. A more severe lung puncture can require hospitalization and re-inflation of the lung. This is a rare complication and in skilled hands should not be a concern. If you feel any related symptoms, immediately contact your IMT / TDN provider. If a pneumothorax is suspected you should seek medical attention from your physician or, if necessary, go to the emergency room. Other risks may include bruising, infection and nerve injury. Please notify your provider if you have any conditions that can be transferred by blood, require blood anticoagulants or any other conditions that may have an adverse effect to needle punctures. Bruising is a common occurrence and should not be a concern unless you are taking a blood thinner. As the needles are very small and do not have a cutting edge, the likelihood of any significant tissue trauma from IMT / TDN is unlikely. Please consult with your practitioner if you have any questions regarding the treatment above. Do you have any known disease or infection that can be transmitted through bodily Fluids? Yes NO Are you currently pregnant? Y/N Date of last Period: If you marked yes to either of the above questions, please discuss further with your practitioner. Your signature below indicates that all questions and concerns regarding treatment with dry needling have been addressed to your satisfaction and you consent to the use of dry needling as part of your treatment plan.
