The material risks inherent in treatments: As with any healthcare procedure, there are certain complications which may arise. These complications include but are not limited to: allergic reactions, toxicity, medication interaction, upset stomach, loose stools, conspitation, or muscle soreness. Some people will experience unpleasent symptoms with nutritional/herbal care while the body balances or is healing. I will make every reasonable effort during the examination to screen for contraindications to care; however, if you have a condition or are taking medication or other supplements that would otherwise not come to my attention, it is your responsibility to inform me.
The probability of those risks occurring is extermely low and are generally described as rare.
The availability and nature of other treatment options: Other treatment options for your condition will vary and depend on your health status and the severity and may include:
- Self-administered, over-the-counter medications or supplements
- Other types of health care like Chiropractic care, massage, dry needling, or medical care.
- Medical prescription drugs
- Hospitalization
- Surgery
If you chose to use one of the above noted “other treatment” options, you should be aware that there are risks and benefits of such options and you may wish to discuss these with the treating health care provider.
The risks and dangers attendant to remaining untreated: Remaining untreated may allow the formation of a more substainal health problem. Over time this process may complicate treatment making it more difficult and less effective the longer it is postponed. More extensive interventions may become required or necessary.
