The adjustment takes ten minutes. Your schedule has nothing to sell for the other fifty.
Between 150 and 400 visits a week walk in, get on the table, and walk out inside a quarter hour. The front desk has one thing left to sell, a supplement shelf nobody came in for. A RECON recovery layer bolts onto the plans you already sell and gives the twenty minutes after a price.
Quick Answer
Recovery equipment for a chiropractic office is a cash-pay layer added to the care plans a practice already sells: compression and PEMF as a per-visit add-on inside a plan, or a standalone monthly membership. RECON builds by pillars deployed: a Station (one pillar), a Room (two) or a Suite (all three). Your build is quoted to your space and patient volume. The Station proves demand; the Suite supports pricing at the top of the band. Everything runs on standard 110V, no provider required.
The Adjustment Is Ten Minutes. The Practice Is Built Around Nothing Else.
High volume, short visits, one product to sell.
One or two locations. Cash-heavy. Plans already move, patients understand buying a block of care from you. Every visit runs the same shape: check in, table, adjust, out. Ten minutes of contact, then the most engaged health customer you meet all week walks past a desk with nothing to hand them.
The External Problem
Ten Minutes, Then Gone
You cannot lengthen the adjustment and would not want to, throughput is the model. But short visits cap revenue per visit, and the only add-on most practices carry is a supplement the patient buys cheaper online.
The Internal Problem
Priced Like a Commodity
Down the road someone runs $29 adjustments. When the only thing on your menu is the adjustment, the market prices you against them, and you defend a number instead of building something hard to compare.
The Philosophical Problem
Structure Without the Rest
The adjustment resets the structure. Nothing else on the schedule looks after the rest of the patient. Not a knock on the adjustment, the practice sells one layer and calls it a system.
You do not need a longer visit. You need something to sell for the twenty minutes after it.
And it is not only a revenue line. The sequence is the part the $29 adjustment cannot copy, a practice that sells the whole rebuild stops competing on the price of ten minutes.
The default model here is a plan add-on: recovery bundled into the plans you sell as a per-visit add-on, or a standalone monthly membership. Cash-pay only, nothing here is billed to insurance or presented as a covered service, and none of it is clinical or diagnostic.
Chiropractic Add-On Revenue: What an Attach Rate Is Actually Worth
Example math. Your visit count on the call.
Arithmetic before the product grid, because the equipment decision is downstream of one number: what percentage of your visits attach a recovery add-on. Example math only.
Model B: The plan attach rate (start here)
A practice at 250 visits a week attaches a recovery add-on to 20% of them: 50 add-ons a week, 2,600 a year. Multiply by your own add-on price for the dollar line. The same visit count at three attach rates:
| Attach rate | Add-ons / week | Weekly gross | Annual gross (52 weeks) | Room slots used (of 480 a week) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10%: conservative | 25 | 25 × your price | 1,300 × your price | 5.2% |
| 20%: planning case | 50 | 50 × your price | 2,600 × your price | 10.4% |
| 30%: strong sell-through | 75 | 75 × your price | 3,900 × your price | 15.6% |
Read the right-hand column twice: even the strong case uses a sixth of the Room. Payback is your build quote divided by weekly gross. Flip it to find the volume you need: visits per week to pay back in a target number of weeks = build quote ÷ (your add-on price × your attach rate × weeks). We run it with your quote and your visit count on the call.
Prefer a standalone line? Every 100 patients on a monthly membership earns 100 × your membership price, every month.
Model A: Break-even per system
A smaller question: how many paid sessions before one machine has paid for itself? Divide the system's line on your quote by your session price. Run it per machine, then per build. The mats clear first; the panel takes longest and lets you price highest.
Model C: What an unattended station earns per hour
At a 20-minute session and a 40-hour week, a Room's four stations turn 12 slots an hour, 480 a week. Model B's 20% attach is 50 sessions against 480 slots: 10.4% utilization.
That is the point. The equipment is never the bottleneck, the front desk is, so the 51st session and the 200th cost you a wipe-down, against a corner that earned nothing before.
Which build earns, and which one just proves demand
The table above holds the add-on price constant to isolate attach rate. In practice the build decides where in your local price band you can sit at all, and the two ends of the lineup do different jobs.
A Station is a demand test, not a revenue case. Two mats, one modality, 240 slots a week (2 × 3 × 40), and one modality prices at the bottom of the band. The math still works. But that is not the point: a Station is the lowest-cost way to learn your attach rate before committing a room.
A Suite is where the pricing power is. All three pillars means the patient gets the whole sequence, move, unwind, recover, and a sequence supports the top of your price band where a single mat cannot. Same 50 add-ons, priced higher: at steady add-on volume the build typically pays back within the first quarter. We model it with your numbers on the call. The traffic never changed. The offer did.
Identical patient volume, a bigger number: the gap between the bottom and the top of your band, times 2,600 add-ons a year. That is the case for a premium plan tier, not a flat add-on.
All three models are illustrations built on your own prices, not projections. Attach rate depends on patient mix, plan structure, and front-desk training.
Recovery Equipment for a Chiropractic Practice: Station, Room, or Suite
Three pillars: Activate / Circulate (compression), Renew (PEMF), Restore (red and near-infrared light). Compression is the add-on patients feel first: sequential pressure on the legs while they wait for the table. The build itself starts with Renew, because your patient already blocked out the time, and Renew continues that conversation. Renew is the entry, compression is the add-on that adds throughput, light is the tier that lets you price.
| Build | What's in it |
|---|---|
| Station | One pillar: Renew. 2× Renew PEMF Mat. Two mats, two concurrent patients, roughly 60 sq ft. |
| Room | Two pillars. 2× Renew PEMF Mat + 2× Elite Compression System. Four concurrent stations, roughly 100 sq ft. |
| Suite | All three pillars. Everything in Room plus 1× Restore Apex panel. Roughly 130 sq ft. |
Every build is quoted to your space on a call. Request a facility quote.
Substitutions are normal: Pro Boots, Renew+ Photon Mats, Renew+ Pillow. The Restore line runs Edge, Apex, Titan; above it the Blackline Forge panel (built to order, quoted on a qualification call). Pillar detail: compression · PEMF · red light.
Where It Goes, Who Runs It, and What It Needs
Space
60 to 130 sq ft
A spare adjusting room, a hallway end, or the open floor used for traction and stretching. Nothing walled off, nothing plumbed.
Power
Standard 110V
Everything above plugs into outlets you already have. No electrician, no drainage, no HVAC change. Blackline is the exception, qualification call first.
Staffing
A CA, Not a DC
Self-serve after a one-time orientation. An assistant starts the timer and resets between patients, the whole labor line. No provider hour consumed, which is why the margin holds.
Screening and consent. Every order ships with a screening protocol that supplements your own intake and consent forms rather than replacing them. Clinical judgement stays with you.
We Take the Risk First
There is no chiropractic case study on this page yet. We could write one that reads well and you would have no way to check it. Here is the substitute, and it costs us more than a testimonial would.
30-DAY ACTIVATION GUARANTEE30-Day Activation Guarantee. If your facility doesn't book 40 paid compression sessions (or 30 paid PEMF sessions) in the first 30 days per system, we refund your deposit in full. One condition: you run the launch protocol we hand you on day one.
Before you buy: a free on-site Recovery Demo Day, so your team runs real sessions first. Delivery and setup are free in the Denver metro. On any return, the buyer pays freight at cost, both ways.
It applies to compression and PEMF, the Station and the Room in full. Not to red light: Restore panels ship from stock and are sold without it. Blackline is built to order: cancel before fabrication, non-returnable after, 2-year commercial warranty plus year 3 parts, qualification call first.
What comes with every order
Operator Onboarding Kit. Staff training, screening protocol, session templates, care-plan pricing language, front-desk scripts, ops support, every order, every build, never an upsell. The scripts matter most: what sells this is sequencing, not pitching.
The 30-day launch protocol. What the guarantee is attached to, handed over day one: in-practice signage, the patient email sequence, social templates, the day-by-day plan for month one.
Why now, honestly
Founding Partner program. In each sector we work with one Founding Partner: one of the first facilities in your market to run RECON and help us tell the story. Founding Partners get a branded RECON space, direct founder access and a permanent place in our case studies, in return for an agreed marketing commitment. Ask whether your sector is still open.
Lead time. Compression, PEMF and Restore ship from stock. Blackline is built to order on 6 to 8 weeks, a Blackline in your Q1 plan is a Q4 decision.
What it buys
Anchor it against what else buys a revenue line here. A new adjusting table or a laser works one patient at a time, provider beside it. A two-pillar Room serves four at once, no provider beside it. And what it buys is not a machine, it is the reason a patient drives past two cheaper adjustments to reach yours. Every build is quoted to your space on a call. Get your build quote.
Two PEMF mats.
PEMF plus compression, four concurrent stations.
All three pillars. Blackline upgrades the panel.
From call to first paid session
1: The practice-fit call, 20 minutes. Bring your visit count, plan tiers, and a photo of the space.
2: A spec comes back. A layout to your square footage, the SKU list with your build quote, and how the add-on sits inside your plans.
3: Launch on the launch protocol. Stocked equipment runs the day it arrives; the 30-day clock starts.
Chiropractic Recovery Equipment Questions, Answered Straight
How does this fit into a ten-minute visit?
It doesn't, it sits beside it. The adjustment stays as long as it is now; the session runs before or after, unattended, while you are in the next room. Revenue added, no minutes added.
Who runs it? I'm not hiring for this.
A chiropractic assistant, as part of the room turn they already do. Self-serve after a one-time orientation: start it, reset, move on. No provider hour, no new role.
What should I charge for it?
Compression and PEMF fit inside the care plans you already sell, as a per-visit add-on or a standalone monthly membership. Where you land in your local band depends on the build: one modality prices at the bottom, all three at the top. We share pricing benchmarks from live partners on the call.
How do I sell this without turning my front desk into a sales floor?
You sequence it instead of pitching it. Not "would you like to add recovery", the CA walks the patient from the table to the mat and says the next twenty minutes are part of the plan. If you already sell plans, your staff has done the harder version for years.
How much space do I actually need?
A Station fits roughly 60 square feet, a Room about 100, a Suite about 130. A spare adjusting room, a hallway end, or the open stretching floor covers it. Nothing walled off or plumbed.
How fast can it be in my practice?
Elite Compression systems, Renew mats and Restore panels ship from stock and run the day they arrive, no install, no electrician. Blackline is built to order on 6 to 8 weeks; sequence stocked gear first.
What about screening, liability, and insurance billing?
Screening: every order includes a protocol covering the contraindications staff must ask about, particularly high-pressure compression and PEMF. It supplements your own intake and consent forms rather than replacing them. Billing: cash-pay only, nothing is submitted as a claim or presented as a covered service, which is why the revenue is not exposed to reimbursement.
Book the Practice-Fit Call
Twenty minutes. Bring your visit count, plan tiers, and a photo of the space. You leave with a layout, a build recommendation, and attach-rate math on your numbers. If it doesn't work at your volume, you hear that on the call, not after the invoice.
