CASE STUDY

How Dr. Tom Korsh Turned a Small-Town Practice into an $85K-Per-Quarter Growth Story with a Red Light Therapy Chamber

Overview

Dr. Tom Korsh has been a chiropractor in Lacombe, Alberta for close to 40 years. He’s well known and well respected in his community — the kind of practitioner patients trust. But after decades of adjusting patients, he was experiencing the toll himself: arthritis in his hands and knees that was limiting his mobility and headed toward cortisone injections.

When his longtime friend Laurent Goldstein — who he’d known for over 25 years through Laurent’s previous patient education software company — introduced him to the technology, Dr. Korsh became an early adopter. What started as a professional decision quickly became personal when he experienced the results firsthand. After just six 30-minute treatments on his hands, the pain was gone and he canceled his upcoming cortisone appointment. A single 21-minute session on his knees had him running around the clinic pain-free until nearly noon.

But the bigger story was what happened to his practice. In the first quarter of 2025, Dr. Korsh’s accountant confirmed the clinic was up $85,000 compared to the same period the previous year. When Laurent asked if the bed played a role, Dr. Korsh’s answer was unequivocal: “It’s 100% because of the bed.”

Challenge

  • Find a way to grow revenue in a small community of just 7,000 people without adding staff or dramatically changing the practice model
  • Offer patients with complex conditions a deeper level of care beyond manual chiropractic adjustments alone
  • Manage his own arthritis — in his hands from 40 years of adjustments, and in his knees — which was impacting his ability to practice

Solution

  • A full-body red light therapy chamber added a high-demand, premium service that complemented existing chiropractic care and required no additional staff
  • The bed expanded the clinic’s ability to treat complex conditions — and Dr. Korsh began recommending 20-session treatment protocols (two sessions per week for 10 weeks) for patients with more involved issues
  • Dr. Korsh hosted community patient orientation evenings to introduce Lacombe to photobiomodulation — creating immediate revenue and long-term patient relationships

Results

  • $85,000 revenue increase in Q1 2025, 100% attributed to the red light therapy bed
  • At his first patient orientation evening, 18 community members attended and 9 purchased a 20-session package at $1,800 each — generating $16,000 in a single night
  • Held a second patient orientation two weeks later with similar results — proving the demand was repeatable, not a one-time event
  • Growing volume of patient success stories, prompting Dr. Korsh to request Laurent’s film crew return to capture video testimonials for his website

If this is what photobiomodulation is about, then this is amazing. It does way more than I thought it was supposed to do. I’m starting to get really excited.

Summary

Dr. Tom Korsh’s story is proof that you don’t need to be in a big city to see big results. In a town of just 7,000 people, he’s generated an $85,000 revenue increase in a single quarter, filled patient orientation evenings, and built such demand that he’s now creating video testimonials to fuel even more growth. The red light therapy chamber didn’t just add a new service to his clinic — it transformed his practice economics and gave his patients access to a level of care they couldn’t find anywhere else in the community. For chiropractors wondering whether their market is “big enough,” Dr. Korsh’s answer is clear: the demand is already there.
