Dry Needling Consent Form
Dry Needling (DN) involves inserting a thin/flexible monofilament needle into symptomatic tissue to reduce pain and improve function. Benefits from DN can be experienced immediately or over a few days to weeks. DN is not Traditional Chinese Acupuncture. DN is based on anatomy, neurology, and physiology. DN has some risks that can occur with the treatment. In the hands of a skilled professional, these risks are small, but you should still be aware of the potential adverse events. The most likely adverse events are listed below by their level of severity (“Serious”, “Significant”, and “Mild”) and how often it may occur (“Common” <10%, “Uncommon” <1%, and “Rare” < 0.1%).
