Informed Consent to Chiropractic Treatment
I hereby request and consent to the performance of chiropractic adjustments and other chiropractic procedures
including various modes of physical therapy, and if necessary, diagnostic imaging on me (or for the patient named
below, for whom I am legally responsible:______________________) by the chiropractic doctor and/or anyone working
in this office authorized by the chiropractic doctor. I further understand that such chiropractic services may be
performed by the Doctors of Power Within Chiropractic and/or other licensed Doctors of Chiropractic who may treat me
now or in the future at this office. I have had an opportunity to discuss with the doctor and/or with other office or clinic
personnel the nature and purpose of chiropractic adjustments and other procedures. I understand that results are not
guaranteed. I understand and am informed that, as in the practice of medicine and all healthcare, the practice of
chiropractic carries some risks to treatment; including but not limited to: fractures, disc injuries, strokes (CVA),
dislocations, and sprains. I do not expect the doctor to be able to anticipate and explain all risks and complications.
Further, I wish to rely on the doctor to exercise judgment during the course of the procedure which the doctor feels are
in my best interests at the time, based upon the facts then known. I have read, or have had read to me, the above
consent. I have also had an opportunity to ask questions about its contents, and by signing below, I agree to the
treatment recommended by my doctor. I intend this consent form to cover the entire course of treatment for my
present condition(s) and for any condition(s) for which I seek treatment at this facility.
To be completed by the patient:
To be completed by the patient’s representative, if necessary, (e.g. if the
patient is a minor or is physically or mentally incapacitated)
