Jeff Langmaid and a chiropractor discuss why massage chairs matter in clinics. The speaker uses them to reduce hands-on strain from conditions like carpal tunnel and SLAP tears, while improving patient care and circulation without adding staff time.
There's a lot of docs out there, I'm just going to call it bluntly, that might falsely believe that a massage chair is what I'm going to call as a nice to have, maybe almost frivolous, as opposed to a need to have if they're really looking at their business through the lens of patient experience, care and efficiency.
For me, it started with I physically needed a different way to practice. I mean, I was a manual adjuster. I did evolve into manual plus computer assisted. But I needed to spend less physical time with my hands on that patient. Okay, so that was number one. Number two, physically, as you mentioned, I now have bilateral carpal tunnel. I have cubital tunnel on the right. I have a slap tear on the right. I've had every injection possible in my low back. Massage chairs help me manage the spinal pain. Obviously, the overall benefit of circulation.
