I hereby consent to dry needling treatment at Be Well LifeStyle Centers. I understand that dry needling involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into myofascial trigger points, muscles, ligaments, tendons, or near nerves to treat pain and movement impairments.
Potential benefits include reduced muscle tension, decreased pain, improved range of motion, and accelerated recovery.
Potential risks and side effects include: temporary soreness or discomfort at the needle insertion site, bruising, bleeding, temporary increase in symptoms, fatigue, and in rare cases, pneumothorax (collapsed lung) when needling the thoracic region, nerve injury, or infection.
I have disclosed all relevant medical conditions including bleeding disorders, pregnancy, immune deficiency, metal allergies, epilepsy, and any medications I am currently taking.
I understand that dry needling is not acupuncture and is performed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. I understand that results are not guaranteed and that I should consult my primary healthcare provider for any medical concerns.
I voluntarily consent to this procedure and release Be Well LifeStyle Centers and its practitioners from liability for any adverse effects resulting from treatment performed in accordance with standard practices.
