Revenue is generated across four streams: surgical procedures, in-office consultations, in-house physical therapy, and bone health diagnostics. Patient acquisition relies on primary care referrals, physician reputation, community school partnerships, and a digital presence via the practice website and Facebook. No external institutional or private equity ownership is indicated.
