6 Terms of Acceptance When a person seeks Chiropractic care and we accept a person for such care it is essential for both to be working towards the same objective. Chiropractic has only one goal. It is important that each person understands both the objective and the method that will be used to attain it. This will prevent confusion. Adjustment: A specific application of forces to facilitate the body s correction of the vertebral subluxation. Our chiropractic method of correction is by specific adjustments to the spine. Health: A state of physical, metal and social well being; not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Vertebral Subluxation: A misalignment of one or more of the 24 vertebrae in the spine resulting in nerve dysfunction, resulting in the lessening of the body s innate ability to express its maximum health potential. We do not offer to diagnose or treat any disease. Our focus in this office is the vertebral subluxation. However, if we encounter non-chiropractic or unusual findings we will advise you. If you desire advice, diagnoses, or treatment for the aforementioned findings we recommend that you seek another healthcare provider. Regardless of what the disease is called, we do not offer to treat it. Nor do we offer advice regarding treatment prescribed by others. Our ONLY PRACTICE OBJECTIVE is to locate, analyze and correct vertebral subluxation by specific adjustments. I, have read and fully understand the above statements. (Print name) All questions regarding the chiropractor s objectives to my care in this office have been answered to my complete satisfaction. I therefore accept care on this basis.

Before we will begin any health care operations we must require you to read and sign this consent form stating that you understand and agree with how your records will be used. 1. The patient understands and agrees to allow this chiropractic office to use their Patient Health Information (PHI) for the purpose of treatment, payment, healthcare operations, and coordination of care.

A patient s written consent need only be obtained one time for all subsequent care given the patient in this office. 4. The patient may provide a written request to revoke consent at any time during care. This would not effect the use of those records for the care given prior to the written request to revoke consent but would apply to any care given after the request has been presented. 5.
