PulStar is Reliable and Consistent

One of the benefits of technology is that measurements can be made precisely and they can be repeated accurately.  

For example, we could measure the speed of a thrown baseball by having someone count how many seconds it takes to get to the catcher.  How reliable would that be?  Maybe the person starts a little faster on this throw, a little slower on that throw.  And how about consistency between counters?  Maybe one counts "one-one thousand", one counts "one Mississippi" and a third counts "one, two...".  How accurate can any of them be?

We could use the technological advancement of the stopwatch which would improve the time measurement but still would have inconsistencies between those using the watch.  What if one person starts the watch during the wind up, another right before he ball is released and a third after the ball has left the hand?  All three would accurately judge the time from the starting point to the end but the starting points would all be different.

Thankfully a radar gun was created and there is much less confusion or argument about the speed of pitches.  There is little human inconsistency that interferes with the measurement of a thrown ball.  We now trust that a ball measured at 93 mph in Pittsburgh's PNC Park will be measured at 93 mph in every other park in the country.

Now think about chiropractic.  A doctor using just his hands can not objectively quantify the stiffness of muscles or pinpoint exactly where a problem may be.  He can go on his experience and intuition to find and relieve your pain.  Even if you find the best chiropractor available, how accurate can he be for every one of your visits or for every patient he sees?  Human error is undeniable, it's going to happen, even to the best of us.  What if you moved and needed to see a different chiropractor, what's the guarantee the new doctor will find the same things as your previous doctor?

There are instruments available in chiropractic that may offer adjustment or analysis but are no more beneficial to chiropractic than the stop watch in the example above was to measuring the speed of a thrown pitch.  These instruments rely heavily on the doctor using it and the diagnosis of that doctor.  Different practitioners of these instruments will achieve different results.

Thankfully there's the PulStar Multiple Impulse Therapy.  Dr. Robert Leach, a PulStar user,  published his research about PulStar's repeatability in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics.  What Dr. Leach found is that for an experienced user, the PulStar analysis was repeatable on a scale of .89 out of 1.0 and between different doctors the analysis was repeatable on a scale of .87 out of 1.0.

The point is that you can count on the PulStar technology to accurately and consistently analyze you to find the problems causing your pain.  You can count on it if you go to the same doctor every time and you can count on it if you have to go to a different PulStar user.  The PulStar will improve chiropractic just like other technologies have improved every aspect of our lives.

More on PulStar's Flexibility

In an earlier post I talked about PulStar's flexibility when it comes to force settings and the different modes of adjusting.  Another way PulStar's flexibility can help you is in the adjustment position.

Our research has found that patient position is an important variable when it comes to effectively dealing with a patient's pain.  Patients react to treatment differently in different positions because of things like gravity and the support they receive from the table they are laying on or the chair they are sitting in.  If you are laying on a table some muscles are relaxed and the adjustment may not be effective.

Some patients spines look completely different when standing compared to when they are laying down or sitting.  A little more surprising than this is that different problems causing pain may show up in these different positions.   With this in mind we developed constant posture systems that allow doctors to both analyze and adjust patients in standing as well as sitting positions.

No other instrument or adjusting technique can offer this option which is designed to make sure a patient's back pain can be relieved quickly and effectively.  The PulStar Multiple Impulse Therapy is the best instrument technology on the market.

PulStar is Patient Friendly

The PulStar Multiple Impulse Therapy has always included a sophisticated database.  Not only does this system analyze and adjust patients, it also stores the results of the visit.  In the database a doctor can store the results of the analysis and adjustment, where the patient was adjusted, how much force was used and even the number of impulses!!   Any patient can view any of their previous visits, get a print out of any visit and even be shown trends for every vertebra over all visits on an easy to understand display.  

Also, if a patient has a previous visit, as soon as their information is retrieved, a "Last Visit Display" pops up so the doctor and patient can review the results of the last visit and compare it side by side with the results of the current analysis.  The PulStar displays the images side by side using bar graphs that make it simple for a patient to understand.

The PulStar technology takes the guess work out of back pain treatments.  Doctors can find the exact area where the pain is coming from and treat it effectively to relieve the pain.  Then both the patient and the doctor can review the results together to make sure progress is being made.  Empowering the patient in this way has helped make PulStar a patient favorite across the country.

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.

iSpine

As I was looking for more information about how people handle back pain and what they do for relief, I found a community called iSpine which stands for the "International Spine Patient Information Network".  The site is designed to share information between people suffering through back pain.  The forum allows people to ask questions, share their experience and find some emotional support.

I asked if anyone had tried a PulStar Multiple Impulse treatment to relieve their back pain.  The site administrator responded quickly and with some skepticism.  He noted that maybe the site was designed for those suffering more severe back issues or structural type problems.  Someone else called me a spammer.  I offered to get either of them a PulStar treatment so they could report back but neither accepted.  What can you do?

In any case, if someone is suffering from severe back issues and are looking for ways to avoid surgery, first I would suggest a PulStar treatment and second I would say check out iSpine since they seem to have more activity from real people than other blogs or web sites I've seen.

"Lose the Back Pain" Blog

Here is another blog I found about back pain.  While it seems Jesse Cannone's "muscle imbalance" idea agrees with our own theory of back pain, the difference is that the PulStar will directly treat the imbalance to relieve the pain using multiple impulse technology.  I can not speak to the effectiveness of any of the products that the Health Back institute sells but I can say that there is only one PulStar that is sure to offer a gentle, safe and effective treatment for your back pain.  

I will also say that after a PulStar treatment, you will have the opportunity to look at what areas of your back were irregular prior to your treatment and then see how effective the treatment was on the screen display.  The display is easy to read and understand and gives you specific information about which vertebra were treated, how much pressure was used to treat and exactly how many impulses were needed to achieve that result.  You even get a printout of the screen display to take home with you so you can easily track your own progress to judge for yourself how effective the PulStar treatment is.  A copy of the screen display is below.

The point is that with the PulStar, you don't need to try lots of different products and systems.  You don't have to guess what is being treated and how.  You can see for yourself in the easy to read, easy to understand print out and know for sure how effective the PulStar treatments are.

Patents

It occurred to me that Dr. Evans introduced himself and briefly described his background but did not fully explain his expertise. I decided I would toot Dr. Evans' horn for him since it is important for people to know why he is an authority on multiple impulse therapy to help relieve back pain.

Dr. Evans holds 7 U.S. Patents, 3 of which are based on PulStar technology. His patent numbers are: 4,307, 722; 4,425,191; 4,844,105; 4,841,955; 4,984,127; 5,435,813; 5,662,122

Here is the patent search site if you want to look into it more.

I know of other companies claiming to have patents but they really only have trademarks and in some cases not a single patent. In case you come across another company making these claims, here is the trademark site so you can do your own research.

I hope this provides some objective proof that the PulStar is an effective means to back pain relief. It is the only instrument adjusting technology with 3 patents and it is the only instrument with this much clinical research behind it.

The PulStar truly offers back pain relief that makes sense.

Getting to know Dave

My name is Dave and I joined Sense Technology in Pittsburgh this last June to help with sales and marketing. I've spent a majority of my adult working life in restaurants and call centers and I believe working with Sense to market the Pulstar fits very well with my background.

Customer service has been a large part of what I have done so I feel great about Sense Technology and the work we do. Our goal is to create safe, gentle and effective instruments to help people get out of pain. I've talked to chiropractors that have used the Pulstar to relieve back pain and they say great things about it. I've read surveys from patients looking for relief from back pain and they say great things about the Pulstar (I'll post more about this later). The more I learn, the more excited I am about joining Sense.

This is the first time I've been apart of a company that literally cures a pain. In sales we're taught to find the customer's "pain" and "cure" it by selling them something. It feels good to finally help people get out of real pain.

I've been eager to get this blog up and running because I'm looking forward to helping people as well as hearing the success stories that are out there. The more people we make aware of the Pulstar Multiple Impulse Therapy, the more people we can help.

To find a chiropractor in your area using the Pulstar you can click here.

We'll be posting research, results of surveys and success stories in the future. Please let us know what questions you have or what information you'd like to see and we'll do our best to get it posted as soon as possible.
