Legal Question in Health Care Law in Massachusetts

If I go into a Chiropractor's office for chiropractic work, and they provide treatment, do they need to let me know that they are using an additional billable treatment, such as massage therapy prior to them doing so, or can they just begin the treatment without telling me first?
