ReliefNow expands to help physicians address burnout and insurance fatigue

ReliefNow expands its structured conservative-care model as national organizations continue to report elevated levels of physician strain and administrative pressure

PLANTATION, FL — November 14, 2026 — Physician burnout continues to be a concern across the United States, according to ongoing analyses from the American Medical Association, the Association of American Medical Colleges and the National Academy of Medicine. These organizations note persistent administrative burden, reduced autonomy and increasing documentation requirements as influential factors affecting clinician wellbeing across care settings.

Growing concern about administrative strain
Many physicians report that reimbursement-related tasks and administrative processes shape the structure of their workday. Clinicians frequently express interest in conservative-care options that integrate smoothly into existing appointment workflows and support straightforward communication about next steps in patient management.

“Physicians regularly share that administrative responsibilities limit their available time for direct patient interaction,” said Dr. Robert Hanopole, DC, Co-Founder and CEO of ReliefNow Laser Pain Centers. “A structured conservative-care option that fits within routine visits may support clearer conversations around patient needs.”

A standardized model intended to support clinical consistency
The ReliefNow model incorporates FDA-cleared Class IV deep tissue laser therapy within a uniform, clinic-based delivery protocol. Many locations using the ReliefNow Laser Methods report that a standardized approach can help create consistency in operational processes and patient discussions around conservative options for musculoskeletal discomfort.

“A predictable structure may help clinicians manage daily workflow demands while supporting conversations about non-invasive approaches,” said Dr. Michael Rubenstein, DC, Co-Founder and COO of ReliefNow.

Alignment with conservative clinical pathways
Clinicians incorporating the ReliefNow protocol note that patients often appreciate having an additional conservative option for addressing musculoskeletal discomfort. Providers indicate that the modality’s non-invasive and drug-free characteristics align with commonly used conservative-care pathways in outpatient environments.

“Each ReliefNow location maintains a focus on structured conservative-care options that complement existing approaches used by physicians in their communities,” said Paul Schweet, Executive Director of ReliefNow.
