Opening a second clinic or hiring an associate doctor is an exciting milestone for any chiropractor. It signifies the growth of your practice and the opportunity to reach more patients. However, with this expansion come unique challenges: maintaining consistent quality of care, standardizing treatment protocols, and ensuring that new team members align with your practice’s values. Dr. C. Todd Fetter of Spinal Care & Wellness Clinic in Winfield, Alabama, has navigated these challenges and shares how the PulStar system has become an essential tool in his practice.
Ensuring Consistency Across Locations
- The PulStar’s computerized system provides extremely reliable and repeatable spinal stiffness and compliance measurements. Whether an experienced chiropractor or a newly hired associate uses it, the PulStar ensures that diagnoses and treatments are consistent across practitioners. Its ability to produce quantitative data eliminates the variability inherent in manual assessments. A 2003 study demonstrated excellent inter-examiner reliability, showing how seasoned and novice users achieved similar results with the PulStar system. This consistency for a chiropractor managing multiple locations means patients in both clinics receive the same high-quality care. The computerized data is stored and easily accessible, allowing you to monitor treatments across locations, track patient progress, and identify patterns that might require attention. Dr. C Todd Fetter notes, “PulStar provides a standardized yet customizable approach to patient care, making it easier to manage multiple locations and ensuring consistent results regardless of the practitioner.”
Streamlining Training for New Chiropractors
- Hiring and training new associates can be time-intensive, but the PulStar system makes this process significantly easier. Its intuitive design and visualized spinal analysis mean that new chiropractors can quickly learn to use the system while still adhering to your clinic’s high standards of care. “Sense Technology’s comprehensive training program ensures that our associates not only master the technology but also understand how to integrate it seamlessly into patient care. This has saved us countless hours and elevated the quality of service in our practice.” Explains Dr. Fetter. This streamlined approach ensures that new hires can confidently and accurately assess and treat patients in a shorter time frame.

Expanding Without Compromising Quality
- The thought of expanding to a second clinic—or even growing an existing one—can feel overwhelming. However, the PulStar system simplifies the process, allowing chiropractors to focus on what truly matters: building patient relationships and delivering exceptional care. Dr. Fetter shares his experience: “With the PulStar system, opening a new practice or growing an existing one feels far less daunting. Its simplicity and efficiency allow us to focus on building patient relationships and expanding our business rather than worrying about operational hurdles.”
