Consent to receive Treatment By signing below, I do hereby voluntarily consent to be treated with acupuncture and/or substances from the Oriental Material Medica by a licensed acupuncturist Christine Keller, M.S. Dipl.O.M., L.Ac, and Nick Dougherty M.S., Dipl. Ac, L.Ac., at White Lily Acupuncture Clinic. I understand that acupuncturists practicing in the state of Minnesota are not primary care providers and that regular primary care by a licensed physician is an important choice that is strongly recommended by the clinic's practitioners. Acupuncture / Moxibustion: I understand that acupuncture is performed by the insertion of needles through the skin or by the application of heat to the skin (or both) at certain points on or near the surface of the body in an attempt to treat bodily disfunction or diseases, to modify or prevent pain perception, and to normalize the body's physiological functions. I am aware that certain adverse side effects may result. These could include, but are not limited to: local bruising, minor bleeding, fainting, pain or discomfort, and the possible aggravation of symptoms existing prior to acupuncture treatment. I understand that no guarantees concerning its use and effects are given to me and that I am free to stop acupuncture treatment at any time. Indirect Moxibustion: I understand that if I receive indirect moxibustion as part of therapy, there is risk of burning or scarring from its use. I understand that I may refuse this therapy. Chinese Herbs: I understand that the substances from the Oriental Materia Medica may be recommended to me to treat bodily disfunction or diseases, to modify or prevent pain perception, and to normalize the body's physiological functions. I understand that I am not required to take these substances but must follow the directions for administration and dosage if I do decide to take them. I am aware that certain adverse side effects may result from taking these substances. These could include, but are not limited to: changes in bowel movement, abdominal pain or discomfort, and the possible aggravation of symptoms existing prior to herbal treatment. Should I experience any problems, which I associate with these substances, I should suspend taking them and call White Lily Acupuncture as soon as possible. Acupressure/ Tui-Na/GuaSha/Cupping/Massage: I understand that I may also be given acupressure / tui-na massage/ gua sha scraping technique, cupping and or abdominal massage as part of my treatment to modify or prevent pain perception and to normalize the body's physiological functions. I am aware that certain adverse side effects may result from this treatment. This could include, but are not limited to: bruising, sore muscles or aches, and the possible aggravation of symptoms existing prior to treatment. I understand that I may stop the treatment if it s too uncomfortable. Electro-Acupuncture: I understand that I may be asked to have electro-acupuncture administered with the acupuncture. I am aware that certain adverse side effects may result. These may include, but are not limited to: electrical shock, pain or discomfort, and the possible aggravation of symptoms existing prior to treatment. If asked about administration, I agree to disclose if I have a pacemaker or any heart problems with the understanding that this may be very risky to my health and should opt for other treatment modalities. I understand that I may refuse this treatment. A Notice to Pregnant Women: I understand that I need to notify the practitioners at White Lily Acupuncture if I am or become pregnant while under their care. I understand that White Lily Acupuncture does not use labor-stimulating acupuncture points unless the treatment is specifically for the preparation of labor. A treatment intended to help endure labor requires a letter from a primary care provider authorizing or recommending such a treatment. If I am being treated for preparation of labor of my pregnancy, I understand this procedure is used to prepare my body for ripening and dilating my cervix to prepare for the start of labor. Due to this preparing effect, I understand that this may encourage the onset of labor. I specifically waive my right to any legal claim that may arise through this treatment. I agree to hold Christine Keller, M.S. Dipl.O.M., L.Ac, and Nick Dougherty M.S., Dipl. Ac, L.Ac.,. harmless for any and all complications that may occur to me or my child as a result of acupuncture for the preparation of labor. I understand that there may be other treatment alternatives, including treatment offered by a licensed physician. I am aware these modalities are not the substitute for medical care. I have carefully read and understand all of the above information and am fully aware of what I am signing. I understand that I may ask my practitioner for a more detailed explanation. I give my permission and consent to treatment. Signature: Date: Page 4 of 9
