For physical therapy practice owners who want to add therapeutic technology to their clinics, it’s crucial to choose the right modalities to enhance patient outcomes while also being mindful of operational costs.
Two popular options in the realm of advanced physical therapy technologies are Winback Tecar Therapy and Laser Therapy.
To help you make an informed decision for your practice, we will compare the benefits of both these modalities while also highlighting cost differences.
Demo of Winback Therapy
Winback Tecar Therapy, also known as capacitive and resistive energy transfer (TECAR), uses high frequency electrical current to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This non-invasive treatment increases cellular metabolism, enhances blood circulation and promotes tissue regeneration.
Winback Tecar Therapy accelerates healing by enhancing cellular metabolism and blood circulation, significantly reducing recovery times. It effectively reduces pain by targeting inflammation and promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.

Patients experience improved joint and muscle mobility due to reduced stiffness and enhanced tissue elasticity. Additionally, the treatment is non-invasive, painless, and often described as relaxing, making it a favorable option for patients. The therapy is versatile and effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, from acute injuries to chronic pain management.
Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Cold Laser Therapy, uses low-intensity lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular function. This treatment is known for its ability to reduce pain and inflammation, promote wound healing and regenerate damaged tissues.
Laser Therapy effectively reduces pain and inflammation in both acute and chronic conditions. It promotes faster healing of tissues by stimulating cellular activity and improving blood flow, which aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues.
Like Winback, Laser Therapy is non-invasive and painless, providing a comfortable treatment experience for patients. It is widely used for musculoskeletal issues, wound healing and inflammatory conditions.
The initial cost for Winback Tecar Therapy equipment is generally lower compared to high-end laser therapy devices, making it a more accessible option for clinics looking to add advanced technology without a significant upfront investment.
At NeuPTtech, we offer the Winback device for a two-month trial with a $3,000 deposit. If you decide to purchase the device, you can save $1,000 on the purchase price. Additionally, we offer financing options for six months at $99 per month.
On the other hand, high-quality clinical laser therapy devices can be quite expensive, often ranging $40,000 or more, which can be a barrier for smaller clinics or those with limited budgets.
Operating costs for Winback are typically lower as the devices have minimal consumable parts and require less maintenance. While laser therapy also has low operating costs, the cost of replacing laser diodes and other components can add up over time.
With its versatility and effectiveness, Winback can easily be marketed as a premium, cash-based service. We recommend giving one 10 minute Winback Therapy session away for free, then invite patients to purchase a package of 6 sessions for around $300.
Laser therapy treatments are generally priced lower than Winback but still provide a solid revenue stream. However, the lower pricing may not offset the higher initial investment as quickly.
Ultimately, both Winback Tecar Therapy and Laser Therapy offer significant clinical benefits and can enhance patient outcomes. Both are used for deep tissue therapy, but, in our trials with patients, the Winback device can treat deeper tissue than laser which produces faster relief and recovery from chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions.
Nevertheless, the choice between the two may come down to clinical goals and budget considerations.
We recommend Winback Therapy as a more versatile, cost-effective alternative, offering a similar range of benefits for a larger percentage of your patient population at a lower cost, making it an attractive option for clinics looking to optimize their investment while providing high-quality patient care.
When considering adding an advanced therapeutic modality to your physical therapy clinic, both Winback Tecar Therapy and Laser Therapy offer unique benefits. However, Winback Tecar Therapy stands out due to its lower initial investment, diverse applications and potential for higher revenue generation.
At NeuPTtech, we’re dedicated to helping clinics adopt the latest technologies to provide exceptional patient care and achieve significant financial growth.
