Real-Time Bio-Feedback, Smarter Adjusting, and Faster Documentation
The newest PulStar software update delivers meaningful improvements that help chiropractors analyze more clearly, adjust more confidently, and document more efficiently. These enhancements are not theoretical—they’re practical tools you’ll feel immediately in daily practice.
To see all of the features demonstrated step by step, watch the full walkthrough video below:
Clearer Analysis With More Control
Selective Regional Stiffness (Yellow Bars)
You can now control how regional stiffness indicators appear on the analysis screen:
- Show all yellow bars
- Show only high yellow bars
- Show only low yellow bars
Why this matters:
Yellow bars often suggest soft tissue involvement, but not all soft tissue patterns mean the same thing clinically.
- Low yellow bars may indicate tightness or dysfunction in deep intersegmental muscles
- Higher/longer yellow bars may suggest soft tissue involvement further away from the spinal segment
This added control lets you focus your visual attention exactly where it’s most clinically relevant for that visit.
Intersegmental Orange Bars: Seeing Issues Before They Become Problems
A new optional display shows orange intersegmental bars where a segment is very close to meeting subluxation criteria, but hasn’t crossed the threshold yet.
Why this matters:
These indicators give you a “heads up” on segments that may not require intervention today, but are important to monitor on future visits. It adds a new level of clinical foresight to PulStar analysis.
Smart Adjusting With Real-Time Bio-Feedback Monitoring
When you transition from analysis to adjust, the software guides you through vertebrae based on fixation severity. You can also reorder that list to match your preferred workflow.
Live Effectiveness Indicator (Red → Green)
One of the most important upgrades is real-time bio-feedback monitoring during the adjustment itself.
- A red, pulsing indicator shows the system actively monitoring tissue response as impulses are delivered
- When sufficient mechanical change is detected, the indicator turns green, confirming an effective adjustment
Why this matters:
This provides objective, real-time confirmation that the adjustment has achieved its intended biomechanical effect. Instead of relying solely on impulse count or tactile feel, you now receive immediate feedback that helps you:
- Stop adjusting as soon as effectiveness is achieved
- Avoid unnecessary adjusting
- Improve consistency from segment to segment
- Move confidently to the next vertebra
Expanded Soft Tissue and Myofascial Options
Soft tissue care is now documented with greater precision. Instead of a single “soft tissue” label, you can:
- Select specific regions (e.g., TMJ, suboccipitals)
- Specify left, right, or bilateral treatment
- Specify the adjustment mode that was used (e.g., Point, Myofascial)
Your records now accurately reflect everything you did during the visit, not just spinal adjustments.
AI-Assisted SOAP Notes With Built-In Dictation
The Notes section now makes documentation significantly faster:
- Dictate subjective findings directly using your system microphone
- Use writing tools to proofread or rewrite text in a more professional tone
- Generate a full SOAP note that automatically pulls data from the PulStar session
Importantly, all AI processing is handled locally on your Apple computer, not in the cloud. You gain speed and polish without compromising data privacy.
Automatic Recording of Adjustments and Soft Tissue Care
PulStar now stores detailed treatment data with each visit, including:
- Vertebrae adjusted
- Soft tissue regions treated
- Mode used
- Force levels and impulse counts
This information appears automatically in the visit summary and SOAP note.
New Multi-Visit Review: See Progress Over Time
A new “Overall” review view lets you scroll back through prior visits and compare:
- Today’s findings
- Prior pre- and post-scans
- Patterns that improve, persist, or reappear
It turns PulStar into a long-term clinical tracking tool, making progress, and problem areas, easy to identify and explain.
