Doctor-Patient Relationship in Chiropractic Informed Consent
It is important to acknowledge the difference between health care specialties of
Chiropractic, Osteopathy & Medicine. Chiropractic health care seeks to restore health
through natural means without the use of medicine or surgery. The success of the
Chiropractic Doctor’s procedures often depends on environment, underlying causes,
physical & spinal conditions & patient compliance on recommendations given by the
Doctor.
Doctors of Chiropractic specialize in biomechanical functions of the body. Every
patient should be mindful of his/her own symptoms & should secure other opinions if
he/she any concern as to the nature of his/her total condition.
A patient in coming to the Doctor of Chiropractic gives the Doctor permission &
authority to care for the patient in accordance with chiropractic tests, diagnosis &
analysis. The chiropractic adjustment or other clinical procedures are usually very
beneficial in treating the patient’s condition as it relates to chiropractic care. In
extremely rare cases, underlying physical defects, deformities or pathologies may
render the patient susceptible to injury.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please speak to the Doctor before signing this consent form.
