Acknowledgement of Receipt of Notice of Privacy Practices:

RENAISSANCE CHIROPRACTIC CENTER USES PERSONAL INFORMATION ONLY AS RELATED TO PROVIDING CARE AND BILLING PURPOSES IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE AND FEDERAL PRIVACY GUIDELINES. WE DO NOT SHARE YOUR INFORMATION BEYOND WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THESE PURPOSES. I acknowledge that I may request a copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices or I have declined the opportunity to read them and understand the Notice of Privacy Practices. I understand that this form will be placed in my patient chart and maintained for six years.

Financial Responsibility:

I hereby state that the information on this form is true and correct. I authorize Renaissance Chiropractic Center to examine, take x-rays (if necessary), treat me, and do whatever they deem necessary in accordance with the state statutes, for the care and management of my condition. I understand and agree that health and insurance policies are an arrangement between an insurance carrier and myself. I also understand that Renaissance Chiropractic Center will prepare any necessary reports and forms to assist me in making collection from the insurance company, and that any amount authorized to be paid directly to Renaissance Chiropractic Center will be credited to my account upon receipt. However, I clearly understand and agree that all services rendered me are charged directly to me and that I am personally responsible for payment. I also understand that if I suspend or terminate my care and treatment, any fees for services rendered me will be immediately due and payable. Your account will be assessed a $35.00 cancellation fee if our office is not contacted 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. Insurance benefits are based on a "Good faith" quote from your insurance company. However, this is not a guarantee of payment.

Terms of Acceptance:

When a patient seeks chiropractic health care and we accept a patient 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 patient understand both the objective and the method that will be used to attain it. This will prevent any confusion or disappointment.

Adjustment: An adjustment is the specific application of forces to facilitate the body's correction of vertebral subluxation. Our chiropractic method of correction is by specific adjustment of the spine.

Health: A state of optimal physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

Vertebral subluxation: A misalignment of one or more of the 24 vertebra in the spinal column which causes alteration of nerve function and interference to the transmission of mental impulses, resulting in a lessening of the body's innate ability to express it's maximum health potential.

We do not offer to diagnose or treat any disease or condition other than vertebral subluxation. However, if during the course of a chiropractic spinal examination, we encounter non-chiropractic or unusual findings, we will advise you. If you desire advice, diagnosis or treatment for those findings, we will recommend that you seek the services of a health care provider who specializes in that area. 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 eliminate a major interference to the expression of the body's innate wisdom. Our only method is specific adjusting to correct vertebral subluxations.

have read and fully understand the above statements.

All questions regarding the doctor's objectives pertaining to my care in this office have been answered to my complete satisfaction. I therefore accept chiropractic care on this basis.

Informed Consent to Care

You are the decision-maker for your health care. Part of our role is to provide you with information to assist you in making informed choices. This process is often referred to as "informed consent" and involves your understanding and agreement regarding the care we recommend, the benefits and risks associated with the care, alternatives, and the potential effect on your health if you choose not to receive the care.


We may conduct some diagnostic or examination procedures if indicated. Any examinations or tests conducted will be carefully performed but may be uncomfortable.


Chiropractic care centrally involves what is known as a chiropractic adjustment. There may be additional supportive procedures or recommendations as well. When providing an adjustment, we use our hands or an instrument to reposition anatomical structures, such as vertebrae. Potential benefits of an adjustment include restoring normal joint motion, reducing swelling and inflammation in a joint, reducing pain in the joint, and improving neurological functioning and overall well-being.


It is important that you understand, as with all health care approaches, results are not guaranteed, and there is not a promise to cure. As with all types of healthcare interventions, there are some risks to care, including, but not limited to: muscle spasms, aggravating and/or temporary increase in symptoms, lack of improvement of symptoms, fractures (broken bones), disk injuries, strokes, dislocations, strains, and sprains. With respect to strokes, there is a rare but serious condition known as "arterial dissection" that typically is caused by a tear in the inner layer of the artery that may cause the development of a thrombus (clot) with the potential to lead to stroke. The best available scientific evidence supports the understanding that chiropractic adjustment does not cause a dissection in a normal, healthy artery. Disease processes, genetic disorders, medications, and vessel abnormalities may cause an artery to be more susceptible to dissection. Strokes caused by arterial dissections have been associated with over 72 everyday activities such as sneezing, driving, and playing tennis.

Arterial dissections occur in 3-4 of every 100,000 people whether they are receiving health care or not. Patients who experience this condition often, but not always, present to their medical doctor or chiropractor with neck pain and headaches. Unfortunately, a percentage of these patients will experience a stroke.


The reported association between chiropractic visits and stroke is exceedingly rare and is estimated to be related in one in one million to one in two million cervical adjustments. For comparison, the incidence of hospital admission attributed to aspirin use from major GI events of the entire (upper and lower) GI tract was 1219 events per one million persons per year and the risk of death has been estimated as 104 per one million users.


It is also important that you understand there are treatment options available for your condition other than chiropractic procedures. Likely, you have tried many of these approaches already. These options may include, but are not limited to: self-administered care, over-the-counter pain relievers, physical measures and rest, medical care with prescription drugs, physical therapy, bracing, injections, and surgery. Lastly, you have the right to a second opinion and to secure other opinions about your circumstances and health care as you see fit.

have read, or have had read to me, the above consent. I appreciate that it is not possible to consider every possible complication to care. I have also had an opportunity to ask questions about its content and, by signing below, I agree with the current or future recommendation to receive chiropractic care as is deemed appropriate for my circumstance. I intend this consent to cover the entire course of care from all providers in this office for my present condition and for any future condition(s) for which I seek chiropractic care from this office.
