Disclosure & Consent to Treat For
Chiropractic and Other Medical or Alternative Services
TO THE PATIENT: You have the right as a patient to be informed about your condition and the recommended chiropractic adjustments and other procedures to be used so that you may make the decision whether or not to undergo the recommended procedure(s) after knowing the potential risks and hazards involved. This is intended to make you better informed so you may give or withhold your consent to the procedure(s)/treatment(s).
I hereby request and consent to the performance of chiropractic adjustments and other chiropractic procedures, including various modes of physical therapy, alternative therapies, and diagnostic x-rays, on me (or the patient named below, for whom I am legally responsible) by Troy Giles, D.C. and/or other licensed Doctors of Chiropractic substituting for Dr. Giles, massage therapists, or those working at the clinic or office who now or in the future treat me. I have had the opportunity to discuss with Dr. Giles, my diagnosis, the nature and purpose of Chiropractic adjustments and other procedures and alternatives. I understand and I am informed that, in the practice of chiropractic, there are some risks to examination and treatment including, but not limited to: fractures, disc injuries, strokes, dislocations, sprains and increased symptoms and pain or no improvement of symptoms or pain, and I hold harmless Troy D. Giles, the clinic, employees of the clinic, Bountiful Family Wellness Center, and Troy Giles, D.C., Inc. I do not expect the doctor to be able to anticipate and explain all risks and complications, and I wish to rely on the doctor to exercise judgment during the course of the procedure(s)/treatment(s) which the doctor feels at the time, based on the facts then known, is in my best interest. I further acknowledge that no guarantees or assurances have been made to me concerning the results intended from the treatment. I understand that the examination notes, treatment notes, and x-ray films will remain the property of BFWC. Copies may be requested for a nominal copying charge.
I have read, or have had read to me, the above consent. I have also had an opportunity to ask questions, and all my questions have been answered fully and satisfactorily. By signing below, I consent to the treatment plan recommended by Dr. Giles. I intend this consent form to cover the entire course of treatment for my present condition and for any future condition(s) for which I seek treatment.
