In this concise YouTube monologue, Dr. Vince Leone addresses chiropractors who use spinal decompression tables, urging them to abandon equipment‑centric marketing. He argues that patients are motivated by relief from specific problems—such as sciatica, herniated discs, and chronic back pain—and the desire to regain activities like golf, playing with grandchildren, and sleeping well. Leone advises clinicians to shift their messaging to focus on these outcomes, demonstrate empathy for the patients' struggles, and position themselves as trusted experts who can restore the patients' quality of life. By emphasizing solutions over the table itself, practitioners are more likely to earn patients' trust and increase treatment adoption.

Chiropractors, if you're trying to help more decompression patients, here's one big mistake that you need to stop making. Stop marketing your decompression table. Just think about it for a second. Patients don't wake up in the morning and think, oh, I need spinal decompression. No, they wake up thinking, ah, my back is killing me. I can't play golf. I can't play with my grandkids. I can't sleep. They don't care about your table. They care about getting their life back. So instead of talking about the fancy equipment, start talking about their problems. Talk about sciatica, talk about herniated discs, back pain that just won't go away. Show them that you understand what they're going through, then teach them how you may be able to help. Because when patients see you as the expert, they're more likely to trust you with their care. Remember, patients don't want decompression, they want their life back. So stop marketing the table and start marketing the solution.
