Informed Consent To Chiropractic Treatment
Chiropractic adjustments are generally considered safe; however, as with any healthcare procedure, there are potential risks. Some patients may experience temporary soreness, stiffness, muscle tenderness, fatigue, headache, or mild discomfort following treatment. Less commonly, symptoms such as dizziness, sprain or strain of muscles or ligaments, or aggravation of a pre-existing condition may occur. Serious complications are rare but can include fracture, disc injury, nerve irritation or injury, or, in extremely rare cases, stroke associated with neck manipulation. The chiropractor will evaluate your condition and discuss any concerns or questions you may have before treatment.
