Dry Needling Consent Form
As with any medical procedure, Dry Needling comes with the potential risk of complications.
It is important that we as clinicians thoroughly educate our patients regarding, not only the potential benefits of Dry Needling, but also the potential complications.
While complications due to Dry Needling are uncommon, they do sometimes occur and must be considered prior to giving consent to the procedure.
Thus, following education, it is critical that we acquire both our patient’s verbal & written consent prior to treatment — indicating our patient has sufficiently bought in & approved of the selected treatment approach!
Check out this example Consent Form that I’ve utilized in my own practice!
Dry Needling is a powerful, evidence-based technique used by trained physical therapists to target muscular pain and dysfunction. At Treadwell, DPT, the approach is patient-first and education-focused.
Before your session, I ask that all patients review and sign the Dry Needling Consent Form to ensure safety, transparency, and a shared understanding of your care.
Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain, tight muscles, or performance-related issues, Dry Needling may be a valuable part of your treatment plan. If you're curious about how it works or if it's right for you, reach out — I’d be happy to answer any questions and help you feel confident in your care!
