Equipment financing fits tables and therapy units; working capital fits a hire’s first months.
Treatment tables plug in and move with the practice. A new clinician builds a schedule over months, and insurer payments for those visits arrive later still.

A Flexion-Distraction Table and Two Drop-Section Tables for a Hanford, CA Chiropractic Office
An invented chiropractic office in Hanford, CA treats a growing share of lower-back patients and has only manual tables in its two adjusting rooms. The chiropractor prices a flexion-distraction table, two drop-section adjusting tables to replace the oldest ones and a portable massage table for the soft-tissue room.
| Item | Invented quote |
|---|---|
| Flexion-distraction table | $13,940 |
| Two drop-section adjusting tables | $10,850 |
| Portable massage table | $1,790 |
| Request total | $26,580 |
Spread over 60 months on equipment financing at a rate of 11.36% in this invented case, the $26,580 works out to $582.70 a month. The invented payments total $34,962.00 over five years, and $8,382.00 of the invented total is interest.
A partner may ask how many patient visits the office books each week and whether the new tables change what it can bill. Tables like these last for years, which is why a five-year term can fit them.
A New Clinician’s First Months at a Kings County, CA Therapy Practice
A therapy practice that adds a physical therapist or a second chiropractor pays the new clinician from the first week. The schedule fills over months, and insurers pay for those visits weeks after they happen.
In an invented case, the new clinician’s pay runs $6,140 a month ahead of what the new visits bring in for the first 2 months, and the first two loan payments fall inside that stretch. Two invented months of shortfall plus two invented payments of $3,266.90 come to $18,813.80, so the invented request is $18,814. Over 6 months at an invented rate of 14.21%, the invented total repaid is $19,601.40, with $787.40 of invented interest.
That fits a working capital loan. A partner may ask for the clinician’s start date, the practice’s visit counts by month and how new patients reach the office.
The two months in the invented case are a planning figure. A practice with a waiting list may fill a new schedule within weeks, and one without may need longer; a partner may ask which describes the office.
Muscle Stimulation Units and Rehab Equipment on a Term Loan
Electrical muscle stimulation units, a treadmill and a rack of dumbbells for an exercise area are smaller purchases than a table, and a practice may group them on one request. A term loan of a few years can carry the group, with the equipment listed in the request.
Pieces that sit on the floor and plug in are equipment. A partner may ask for the supplier quote with model numbers, and it may finance some of the list and not the rest.
Grouping small items keeps the paperwork to one request, but it also ties them to one term. A treadmill and a rack of dumbbells last longer than stimulation pads and leads, which are supplies and fit the office’s ordinary budget instead.
Offices of Other Health Practitioners in Kings County, CA: Chiropractors, Therapists and Others
The Census counts chiropractors together with physical, occupational and speech therapists, podiatrists, optometrists and other practitioners under offices of other health practitioners. County Business Patterns lists 35 of these offices with employees in Kings County, CA for 2023.
Twenty-two of the 35 offices, 62.9%, had under five employees. Payrolls at these offices covered 194 paid employees and reached $8.6 million.
At ZIP 93230 addresses, the 2023 ZIP file shows 22 offices of other health practitioners.
Practitioners with no paid employees are counted in a separate Census series: nonemployer statistics listed 85 offices of other health practitioners in Kings County, CA for 2024.
The mix inside that count matters. A chiropractic office, a vision clinic and a speech therapy practice carry different equipment and are paid on different schedules, so the county figures describe the group, not any one practice.
Visit Counts, Claim Aging and Other Records for a Hanford, CA Therapy Practice
- Patient visits by week or month from the scheduling system
