The PulStar For Patients

In a doctor's hands, The PulStar yields faster and more marked results than conventional treatment, is painless for the patient, and offers safer diagnosis and treatment, shorter treatment times, and greater comfort.

How It Works

The PulStar instruments add the power of computer-precision multiple impulse therapy to your healing hands.

You and your patient will be able to clearly see the areas of spinal stiffness and then see the effects of the The PulStar adjustment.

If the bars are yellow, there may be muscle tightness or stiffness in that area. If there are intersegmental red bars, that shows there is a dysfunction between two of the vertebra.

During the adjust phase, the doctor directs multiple impulses at the areas he/she wants to treat to reduce restrictions in those areas, and add more motion to the segment. Doctor and patient can see the results on the screen in real time.

The PulStar helps doctors improve patient satisfaction and word-of-mouth because patients often feel greatly reduced pain in three or four visits. The precise but gentle pressure applied by the PulStar aligns with established protocols, and is recorded in the patient’s treatment record, greatly reducing any risk of malpractice. As an added benefit, The PulStar impulse therapy reduces strain on the doctor, supporting more years of comfortable and productive practice.

The PulStar Therapies Can Be
Applied to the Following Conditions

Typical chronic back pain conditions

Back Pain

According to the American Chiropractic Association, one half of working Americans admit to back pain each year, and it’s the most common cause of missed work. While diseases can cause back pain, more often than not it is a result of musculoskeletal issues or misalignment. The PulStar system is designed specifically to treat musculoskeletal conditions, and could be ideally suited to treating back pain.

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is the most common type of back pain, with over 31 million Americans experiencing this symptom at any given time. It is also the leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the Global Burden of Disease 2010. The PulStar’s multiple-impulse technology, paired with Essential Elements Cream massage to relax the muscles, can provide a clear treatment plan for lower back musculoskeletal misalignment, while also allowing for some relief between visits.

Muscle Spasm

Spasms of the skeletal muscles are the most common type of muscle spasm. Patients complaining of brief, painful spasms are often advised to gently stretch muscles, but chiropractic care applied to the area may help to reduce occurrences of muscle spasms. The musculoskeletal therapy of The PulStar device can be applied to the area to help enhance chiropractic treatment.

Neck Pain

Everyday life provides a plethora of opportunities to develop neck pain— sleeping, bad posture, improper stretching and even talking on the phone can lead to this symptom. Because neck pain can happen at any time, Essential Elements Cream massaged into the neck muscles can provide immediate relief by relaxing muscles while also being used as part of a treatment plan involving The PulStar device.

Shoulder Pain

Stress tension and musculoskeletal pain in the shoulders is a common symptom treated by chiropractors, but sometimes patients complain about pain coming back between visits. Essential Elements Cream can be used outside of the chiropractor’s office for tension relief, and when combined with The PulStar device, it can minimize tension symptoms overall.

Joint pain and potentially related conditions

Joint Pain

Treatment options for joint pain are varied and wide-ranging. Many patients are choosing to add chiropractic care to their joint pain regimen, and The PulStar doctors are able to offer an additional option that is scientific, gentle, and provides a different approach to the treatment of musculoskeletal joint pain.

Nerve fiber related conditions

Extremity Numbness or Pain

Musculoskeletal issues are sometimes at the root of pain or numbness in the arms, legs, hands or feet. Patients are often surprised to find out that chiropractic methods aren’t just used to treat back pain, and can be used on the extremities as well. Similarly, The PulStar device was designed to assist chiropractors beyond the treatment of back pain, and can provide relief to patients with pain or numbness in the extremities.

Repetitive strain related conditions

Plantar Fasciitis

Pain in the heel of the foot when standing or walking is often the result of plantar fasciitis, which is when the ligament supporting the arch of the foot is damaged. This musculoskeletal issue can be treated with an Essential Elements cream massage, which helps to relax the ligament connecting the heel to the toes. The effect of the cream can be enhanced with the use of The PulStar device, which helps to push the cream through the tough skin on the sole of the foot and into the affected muscle.
