My signature below affirms the following statements: There is some risk involved in any procedure that involves inserting needles of any kind into the body. It is possible to puncture organs (for example, lungs) or blood vessels. The most serious risk, although it is extremely rare, is pneumothorax secondary to lung puncture. I understand hematomas can develop secondary to needle insertion. The possibility of accidentally inserting a needle into a nerve also exists. I am also aware that vasovagal reactions sometimes occur, resulting in fainting. Infections, though rare, have been reported. I understand that relatively benign and rarely more serious adverse events may occur. I also understand the risk of serious harm is highly unlikely.

My signature below also signifies that I understand that participants practice on one another during the course of the seminar. I am willing to participate in this method of learning and will allow needles to be inserted into my body for educational purposes. By agreeing to this, I also release Total Motion Release Seminars, Master Dry Needling seminars, the participants and the instructor(s) from any liability both during the seminar and in my future practice of the technique.

PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES WAIVER

Master Dry Needling seminars makes every effort to help each participant aware PRIOR to each seminar the legal stance and requirements of his or her particular board. However, the ultimate accountability is yours to discover and understand!

I understand the practice of Dry Needling is regulated by state and national board agencies. I understand that IT IS 100% MY RESPONSIBILITY to be absolutely certain it is legal to practice DN in the state or states I practice by communicating directly with my board(s) I release TMR Seminars, Inc., Master Dry Needling and all its instructors and/or employees and associates from this responsibility.

Furthermore, I understand that "acupuncture, acupuncturist, LAC and OMD" are terms that are protected by law and are ONLY to be used by licensed acupuncturists. I understand that when asked what Dry Needling is I'm NOT allowed to use phraseology like "the western, medical form of acupuncture," or "medically-approved acupuncture" or "research-based acupuncture" in an effort to say DN is like acupuncture except it is supported by modern research. understand this pertains to oral, written and all marketing references as well.

Finally, I understand that the billing of Dry Needling to an insurance carrier is a gray area that I must clarify with insurance companies if I decide to bill them.
