I, the undersigned, do hereby request and consent to the performance of acupuncture treatments and other Oriental Medicine procedures. The methods of treatment may include, but are not limited to, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, electrical stimulation, Tui-Na (Chinese Massage), Chinese or Western Herbal Medicine, and nutritional counseling.
I have been informed that acupuncture is a safe method of treatment, but occasionally there may be some bruising or tingling near the needling sites that last a few days. There may be some bruising after cupping. The herbs and nutritional supplements which may be recommended are traditionally considered safe in the practice of Herbal Medicine.
I wish to rely on the acupuncturist to exercise judgment during the course of the treatment, which the acupuncturist feels at the time is in my best interests.
By signing below, I agree to the above-named procedures. I intend this consent to cover the entire course of treatment for my present condition(s).
Be brief in your answers below. A check "✔" yes "no" or one to two words is enough. Dr. Shah will go into greater detail with you during the interview.
(Pursuant to the requirement of Section 6.11, subsections (b) through (d),
V.A.C.S., article 4495b, governing the practice of acupuncture)
