Terms & Conditions

Our Commitment to You

Thrive takes pride in providing excellent health care. Our reputation rests on our steadfast pursuit of this policy in researching, collaborating, and delivering our committed health care. Our patients receive respectful care and are not discriminated against on the basis of age, gender, ethnicity, beliefs, sexual preference, or health status.

You have the right to see the health care professional of your choice (chiropractor, personal trainer, etc.), obtain a second opinion, and refuse treatment or training. Please talk to our reception staff if you would like to provide feedback or make a complaint.

Your Commitment to Us

In order to achieve outstanding treatment results, we require an equal commitment from you. Take the time to read all of our Terms and Conditions as clarity, communication, and understanding will ensure that we’re always on the same page and achieving the best outcome possible.

All of our professional recommendations are based on the information provided by you, an objective and expert Health Care Professional (ie. chiropractic & personal training) examination, and the specific goals determined by you. It is important to understand our Terms and Conditions and for you to acknowledge that ultimately, it is your responsibility to follow our advice and avoid situations that may aggravate your condition. We acknowledge an infinite number of variables can impact the outcomes of any treatment program.

We are confident that if you follow our recommendations, and any further opinions subsequent to progress reviews that may occur periodically throughout the term of your treatment, then we can help you to achieve positive results.

Cancellations

We understand that sometimes you may have to cancel an appointment. It is expected that if you cannot keep an appointment with us, that notice is given as soon as possible by calling, emailing, or presenting in person at the practice (and leaving a message if after hours). We require that you contact us at least 24 hours in advance. Appointments are in high demand, and your advance notice will allow another patient access to the appointment time. Appointments canceled with less than a 24-hour notice will incur a late cancellation consultation fee. The cost of this is €45.

To cancel:
Email: info@ichigoichiechiropractic.com

If the Chiropractor or trainer needs to cancel an appointment. Then they will contact you as soon as possible to inform you. You will be refunded the full consultation fee in this scenario.

Late and Missed Appointments

If you arrive late to an appointment, but within your appointed time slot, you may receive a shorter consultation in an effort not further inconvenience other clients waiting for their scheduled appointment.

If you either arrive after or entirely miss an appointment, you will be charged the late cancellation consultation fee. The cost of this is €45.

Consent to Treatment

You hereby request and give consent to our health care professionals to perform necessary examinations, manipulations, therapy, rehabilitation, and medical diagnostic procedures in accordance with their professional training and understanding of your injury.
You understand that you have an opportunity to discuss with your health care professional, the nature and purpose of your care before any treatment is rendered.

You acknowledge and accept the following:
The physical nature of chiropractic, personal training, and related treatments. You have the right to see the health care professional of your choice, refuse intervention or seek a further opinion and to provide feedback and make a complaint.
The adverse risks associated with treatment, including soreness and stiffness, soft tissue injury, neurological complications, cerebrovascular injuries, skin irritations, burns, and other minor complications.
The probability of risk is lowered by screening procedures. Other treatment options exist if the risk of treatment is considered to be high, including medication, medical care, hospitalization, and surgery.
The risk of remaining untreated includes the formation of adhesions, scar tissue and other degenerative changes. These changes can further reduce skeletal mobility, neurologic function, and induce chronic pain cycles. It is quite probable that delay of treatment will complicate the condition and make future rehabilitation more difficult (costing more money and time).

The majority of our clients receive our services without the need for a medical or other referral. However, in the event a referral from another practitioner has been given, it is highly recommended that such a referral is provided to the treating health care professional to assist in the continuity of care and our delivery of the most appropriate treatment for the specific case.

Consent to Obtain and Release Information

To expedite the management of your injury or injury claim, you accept it may be necessary to communicate the details of your medical condition with treating practitioners and personal trainers, case managers, and employers.

Insurance

It is your responsibility to confirm with your insurer in advance to what degree your care is covered by your insurance policy. In many cases, you are required to pay for a part of the services on your own.
Thrive has no contracts with insurers. The Chiropractors at Thrive Chiropractic are members of the SCN (Stichting Chiropractie Nederland) and NCA (Nederlandse Chiropractie Associatie) or DCF (Dutch Chiropractic Federation). This means if your insurance does reimburse chiropractic services, we are certified for reimbursement.

Please check with your health care professional (chiropractor, physiotherapist, etc) for updates in regards to insurance reimbursement.
