In this brief segment of Dr. Vince Leone’s YouTube video, he argues that chiropractors have a reputation for being early adopters of clinical technology. He emphasizes that while the traditional spinal adjustment remains central, modern patients increasingly demand rapid, non‑surgical recovery, prompting practitioners to integrate advanced tools. Dr. Leone highlights shockwave therapy as a prime example of a high‑end, emerging treatment that can both expand the range of conditions a chiropractor can address and serve as a competitive differentiator in a crowded market. The co‑speaker reinforces this point, noting that few local chiropractors offer such technology, yet patient interest in shockwave therapy is already rising.

This is an extremely exciting time to be in practice, to have these tools that are readily available to us, that we can help conditions that we just never thought we could help before.
You can quickly distinguish yourself from your competition by just embracing this modern technology, even if You know, your chiropractor and you're adding this technology, it's not like if you're in a city of 10 or 12 or 15 or 20 chiropractors, realistically, there's probably only 1 or 2 others that have this technology. And, but the demand for these high-end therapies, shockwave is kind of the new kid on the block. And we are starting to see patients coming in are asking, do you have shockwave therapy? Really?
