PulStar
Utilizing the latest technology in chiropractic care, Sandstone opens the door for those who were once timid of the traditional chiropractic adjustment. Can the PulStar help me?
The PulStar is safe and effective for all ages from young to seniors because it uses precise computer controlled gentle impulses. No strong or heavy forces or twisting is required to produce the desired results of treatment.
How does it work?
The PulStar uses a handheld Impulse Head containing Piezoelectric Sensors and is connected to a sophisticated computer program. Each vertebrae or other joint is analyzed for proper function and then displayed as a graph providing both Doctor and Patient with precise information regarding joint functions. This data, along with other clinical information obtained from the patient history, examination, x-rays, etc. is used to determine the most effective course of treatment to obtain the best results in the shortest period of time.
In treatment or adjust mode, the PulStar delivers a series of precise, computer controlled, gentle impulses to free-up joint fixation, relieve muscle spasm and restore normal joint function. A post-analysis is performed and compared with the pre-treatment analysis to visualize and verify the results of treatment.
Non-surgical Spinal Decompression
DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy is a leading and revolutionary non-surgical alternative for disc related syndromes of the neck and low back. DTS uses simple, yet sophisticated, FDA registered equipment manufactured by the leading rehabilitation manufacturer in the US, The Chattanooga Group.
The computerized traction head and doctor skill are the keys. Proper assessment and the use of pre-programmed patterns of distraction and relaxation may permit disc material to be pulled back within the normal confines of the disc and allow tissue repair to begin.
In almost all cases, the treatments are completely painless. In fact, many people fall asleep during the spinal decompression session.
Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes and most patients feel pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Sessions are typically administered 3-5 times per week over a 4-6 week period. After a proper evaluation, a specific treatment plan will tailored for you.
Spinal Decompression has saved many people from surgery. If you are suffering from a degenerated or herniated disc, don’t risk surgery until you have explored safe and effective spinal decompression. Contact Sandstone Chiropractic to find out if we can help.
Healthscore
The growing epidemic of chronic diseases that burden modern society are preventable. They are not even actual diseases, but rather symptoms of poor general health.
Healthscore was developed based on a new paradigm. The current medical paradigm places people in one of two categories: they are either 'healthy' or 'sick'. Rather than simply detecting disease, Healthscore measures health along a continuum that allows individuals to identify problems that matter to them - before they reach the clinical disease state.
Consider:
- Elevated blood pressure can be deadly at levels that doctors do not treat
- Prediabetes puts your risk of diabetes at 40% - and it is preventable
- 46% of cardiac deaths occur in people with normal cholesterol levels.
Our evidence-based numeric health assessment shapes the basis of specific preventive strategies. Individuals identify problems that are relevant to them, learn about those problems and the preventive strategies that have been proven to be effective, get support in their efforts to change their lifestyle habits and measure the benefits of those changes.
Healthscore has helped hundreds of individuals achieve a better understanding of their health. We look forward to helping make change happen in your life.
Please visit the Healthscore (www.healthscore.ca) website for more information.
