PulStar's Flexibility

Another reason the PulStar is so effective and patients appreciate the results they get is that it has three (3) modes of adjustments and displays the results of the adjustment in realtime as well.  These include "Constant-Frequency", "Auto-Frequency" and "Sweep Mode".

The "Constant Frequency" adjusting mode enables a doctor to select any of seven (7) force settings (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 pounds) at any rate between 2 and 20 Hertz (hertz equals impulses per second).  While almost no one uses the 35 pound setting any more because the 25 or 30 pound settings are more than enough, no other instrument provides this wide a combination of force and frequency settings.

In the "Auto-Frequency" adjusting mode the impulse head starts at 20 Hz and then, as the stiffness of the joint decreases, it matches the rate to the change in stiffness.  This means that as the adjustment proceeds, the frequency of the instrument changes along with the joint being adjusted and this change is all displayed on the monitor as it happens.

In the "Sweep" mode, the impulse head starts at 2 Hz and then slowly increases all the way up to 90 Hz and then slowly back to 2 Hz.

Why are all of these options important to you?  They are important because there is no such thing as "one adjustment fits all" (or frequency for that matter).  All patients are unique and all respond differently to the adjustment.  it is important to have the range and flexibility to meet every patient's needs.  The PulStar is the only adjusting instrument that provides the range of force levels and frequencies to relieve the back pain of the vast majority of patients.  No other instrument incorporates a low force setting of 5 pounds or a high constant frequency of 20 Hz.  No other instrument enables doctors to recruit muscle spindle and secondary nerve endings at frequencies up to 90 Hz like the "Sweep" mode.

This flexibility is just another reason why you can trust that you will receive safe, gentle and effective treatments from the PulStar no matter what your size, shape, tolerance or pain level.
