Dr. Vince Leone explains why expensive equipment like MLS M6/M7 lasers and spinal decompression tables often go unused in medical practices. Doctors buy more units thinking that will fix the problem, but the real issue is lack of training and clinical protocols. Before investing in new equipment, practices need to assess whether they're actually using what they already have.
I see I've talked to many doctors over the years that have a robotic laser. We like the MLS cutting edge laser M6 or M7 here at Specialized Practice, but they literally, as I like to say, they have a BMW or Mercedes sitting in the shed collecting dust and not being used. They're underutilizing it. I've talked to many doctors who have a decompression table that, eh, I use it once in a while, but they don't have the protocols. They don't have the clinical acumen to really understand when and where to utilize it. So it sits and it basically collects dust, and it is underutilized. So if your current table or laser isn't busy, another one won't magically fix that. So here are some quick self-check questions that you can utilize to see, okay, do I need to add on another unit?
