4 Informed Consent Before beginning treatment, it is our office policy to inform you of what to expect, possible complications of chiropractic, as well as other forms of treatment. Remember that all forms of treatment (including nontreatment) have associated risks. If you have any questions, please ask the doctor. WHAT TO EXPECT The treatment in our office will consist of manipulation of the joints and soft tissues (muscles and ligaments), using the doctor s hands and/or a mechanical instrument. You may feel movement, and you may hear joint clicks or other noises. Physical therapy methods, including therapeutic exercise, massage and heat or ice may also be used. CHIROPRACTIC RISKS Chiropractic treatment is one of the safest methods of treating spinal problems. Still, unexpected problems can occur. Minor, temporary problems such as soreness and stiffness can occur, especially at the start of treatment. More significant problems, such as fracture of a weakened bone or sprain/disc injuries are rare. A stroke following neck manipulation is an extremely rare complication, occurring less than 1 per million treatments. Stroke has also been the result of ordinary activities, such as head turning and sneezing. OTHER TREATMENTS AND RISKS There are other forms of treatment used by medical doctors. Their risks include: Medications: Many commonly used medications such as NSAIDs (Advil, Aleve, Ibuprofen) carry risks of tissue damage, including stomach ulcers or kidney damage. This damage can occur quickly and may be irreversible. There are significantly higher risks of developing serious complication with NSAIDs compared with chiropractic. The annual number of hospitalizations for serious GI complications related to NSAIDs is estimated to be at least 103,000. Conservative estimates of NSAID-related deaths in the US is 16,500 per year. New England J Med 1999 Other medications are habit forming, and may mask pain to allow further injury or tissue damage. Surgery: Surgery is the treatment of choice in less than 1% of back pain patients. Your doctor will and continue to screen you for surgical indicators and will refer you for a surgical opinion if necessary. Clinical results of surgery for simple, mechanical lower back pain have been disappointing and may expose you to unnecessary hospital and medication risks. Rest/ Non-Treatment: Bed-rest has been shown to increase the likelihood of recurrence of back pain episodes, and make chronic pain more likely. Likewise, non-treatment may cause a permanent mechanical problem to develop, causing future back problems. I have read and understand the above and give my consent to begin chiropractic treatment.
