Who wants to go have surgery? I don't think anybody wants to have surgery. It's wild.
You can quickly distinguish yourself from your competition by just embracing this modern technology. Even if, you know, you're a 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 so you're gonna differentiate yourself from the chiro down the road, definitely from the physical— local physical therapy department. 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 come in, are asking, do you have shockwave therapy? Really? And so that there is that, and the technology and the research behind it is really exploding in the positive direction. And so, That's a bandwagon I think doctors should jump on if they haven't already, is to embrace that technology. But shockwave is the new shiny bright object, the new kid on the block. And it's something that's not a flash in the pan or a fad. It's here to stay. Yeah. Just like laser is.
