6 AUTHORIZATION FORM When a patient seeks chiropractic care and we accept such a patient for care, it is essential for both to be working towards the same objective. Chiropractic has only one goal. It is important that each patient understand both the objective and the method that will be able to attain it. This will prevent any confusion or disappointment. An adjustment is the specific application of forces to facilitate the body s correction of vertebral subluxation. Our chiropractic method of correction is by specific adjustments to the spine. Health is a state of optimal physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease/symptoms. Vertebral Subluxation is a misalignment of one or more of the joints of the body. This may or may not cause pain. This also will result in alteration of nerve function and interference of the transmission of nerve impulses, lessening the body s innate ability to heal and achieve optimal health. We do not offer to diagnose or treat any disease or condition other than vertebral subluxation. However, if during the course of a chiropractic evaluation, we encounter non-chiropractic or unusual findings, we will advise you. If you desire advice, diagnosis or treatment for those findings, we will recommend that you seek the services of a health care provider who specializes in that area. Regardless of what the disease is called, we do not offer to treat it. OUR ONLY PRACTICE OBJECTIVE is to eliminate a major interference to the expression of the body s innate wisdom. One method is specific adjusting to the correct vertebral subluxation. I, have read and fully understand the above statement. Any questions regarding the Doctor s objectives pertaining to care in this office have been answered to my complete satisfaction. I therefore accept chiropractic care on this basis. Signature Date

8 INFORMED CONSENT I hereby request and consent to the performance of chiropractic procedures, including various modes of physio therapy, diagnostic x-rays, and any supportive therapies on me (or on the patient named below, for whom I am legally responsible) by the doctor of chiropractic indicated below and/or other licensed doctors of chiropractic and support staff 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, whether signatories to this form or not. I have had an opportunity to discuss with the doctor of chiropractic named below and/or with other office or clinic personnel the nature and purpose of chiropractic adjustments and procedures. I understand and I am informed that, as is with all Healthcare treatments, results are not guaranteed and there is no promise to cure. I further understand and I am informed that, as is with all Healthcare treatments, in the practice of chiropractic there are some risks to treatment, including, but not limited to, muscle spasms for short periods of time, aggravating and/or temporary increase in symptoms, lack in improvement of symptoms, fractures, disc injuries, strokes, dislocations and sprains. I do not expect the doctor to be able to anticipate and explain all risks and complications, 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 the facts then known, is in my best interests. I further understand that Chiropractic adjustments and supportive treatment is designed to reduce and/or correct subluxations allowing the body to return to improved health. It can also alleviate certain symptoms through a conservative approach with hopes to avoid more invasive procedures. However, like all other health modalities, results are not guaranteed and there is no promise to cure. Accordingly, I understand that all payment(s) for treatment(s) are final and no refunds will be issued. However, prorated fees for unused, prepaid treatments will be refunded if I wish to cancel the treatment. I further understand that there are treatment options available for my condition other than chiropractic procedures. These treatment options include, but not limited self-administered, over the counter analgesics and rest; medical care with prescription drugs such as anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants and painkillers; physical therapy; steroid injections; bracing; and surgery. I understand and have been informed that I have the right to a second opinion and secure other opinions if I have concerns as to the nature of my symptoms and treatment options. I have read, or have had read to me, the above consent. 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 to cover the entire course of treatment for my present condition and for any future condition(s) for which I seek treatment.
