Pulstar Technology

Precision Chiropractic Care Without

the Guesswork

At Living Well Chiropractic Clinic, we use advanced PulStar technology to deliver precise, gentle chiropractic adjustments for patients in Salina and across Central Kansas, including nearby communities like Abilene, McPherson, and Lindsborg.


This computerized system allows us to measure joint motion and apply targeted corrections—helping you get relief faster and with greater comfort.


Patients choose PulStar because it removes the guesswork from care. Instead of relying solely on feel, we use real-time data to identify areas of restriction and deliver consistent, controlled adjustments tailored to your body.


This approach is especially beneficial for those who:

  • Prefer a gentler chiropractic experience
  • Experience chronic pain or sensitivity
  • Want a modern, technology-driven approach to care


By combining advanced technology with clinical expertise, we help you move better, feel better, and experience results that last.

Gentle Chiropractic Treatment

A typical PulStar session is demonstrated in the video above. Patients sit, stand or lay prone during treatments. Dr. Wilcox runs the PulStar instrument down your spine, analyzing each joint for function and stiffness. The instrument sends readings to the computer program, which displays precise data in an easy-to-read graph. Dr. Wilcox uses this information to help determine the most important area(s) to adjust.


Then Dr. Wilcox uses the instrument again, this time focusing on problem areas. 


The PulStar delivers a series of precise, computer-controlled, gentle impulses to free up joint fixations, relieve muscle spasms, and restore normal joint function. Areas of the spine that could not easily be treated by hand can be easily treated by the computerized instrument. 


Patients do not tighten up muscles anticipating the adjustment because the instrument is gentle and precise. Immediately following the treatment, Dr. Wilcox analyzes each vertebrae again, and you can see your percent of improvement on the monitor for yourself. The PulStar provides certainty that you needed the care and that you benefited from the care each visit. This is especially important for spinal areas that no longer hurt but are not yet back to normal function. The PulStar’s computerized analysis is accurate in locating fixated, stuck joints.

What is a PulStar Session?

The PulStar System both analyzes the stiffness of each joint and administers the precise amount of force needed to adjust individual vertebra. It is more gentle than some other methods of chiropractic care.

 

  • No twisting.
  • No popping.
  • No jerking movements. 


PulStar chiropractic adjustments are gentle enough for patients of any age. If you are from Salina, Lindsborg, Ottawa, Concordia, Ellsworth, or Abilene, check out how much better you will feel after chiropractic treatment.


It can be helpful for patients who have spinal injuries, whiplash, joint fusions, osteoporosis, degenerative arthritis, and other conditions. The PulStar provides hope for the hopeless. Dr. Wilcox will only accept cases he sincerely believes can benefit from the PulStar technology.
