Where and when indicated that I may benefit from the services of Aperta Health and it's affiliate facilities. I hereby request and consent to the performance of chiropractic adjustments, muscle therapies and other usual and customary therapy procedures. This may include examination tests, and other physical therapy techniques, on me (or on the patient named below for which I am legally responsible) recommended by providers and assistants of Aperta Health (Chiro Shack) who render treatment or recommendations to me. I understand that, as with any health care procedures, there are certain complications that may arise during a functional health visit, chiropractic adjustment, or therapy session. The clinical procedures performed are usually beneficial to the patient and seldom cause any problem. In rare cases the following may occur, but are not limited to; fractures, disc injuries, bruising, tenderness from treatment, rare reactions from taping, sprain / strains, and discomfort from procedures. I have relayed all pertinent health information to the best of my knowledge and I do not expect the providers to be able to anticipate all risks and complications. I wish to rely on the staff's expertise and exercise judgment during the course of the procedures at the time and based upon the facts then known, and in my best interest. I will assume all responsibility / liability if I withhold or do not report on the health forms any past medical history, illnesses, medications, or allergies. I understand I will have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss with the providers of Aperta Health and/or with office personnel about the nature, purpose and risks and other recommended procedures. I understand that in the process of receiving treatment, as with any health procedure, there is no guarantee of results. I understand that herbal therapy involves recommendations and is not medical care and does not make medical diagnoses. If seeking herbal or essential oil recommnedations, herbalists at Aperta Health are not trained as an MD, DO, or another medical provider. Herbalism in the United States is not a licensed profession. I have read (or have had read to me) the above informed consent. By signing below, I state that I have weighed the risks involved in the potential treatment[s] and have decided that it is in my best interest to undergo treatment recommended and hereby give my consent to said treatment. I intend this consent form to cover the entire course of treatment for my (or the patient whom I am legally responsible for) present condition and for any future conditions for which I may seek treatment.
Do not sign until you have read and understood the above information.
