My name is Dr. Jennifer L. Westcott. I live my life through chiropractic and have been since I was 19 years old. I too was skeptical. I am a genuine person about what I do and if I do not have an answer, I will find one or refer the question to another expert. I will not tell you that I can cure anything or that I specialize in headaches, shoulder pain, etc. I know that if your problem is coming from the spine, then your symptoms will go away. We work as a team to find the best way to reach your optimum health. I make the adjustments, your body does the healing.
Dr. Westcott specializes in using the Pulstar FRAS analysis and adjusting instrument. This is the state of the art computerized equipment which allows the doctor to analyze the spine, and then give safe, gentle, and effective adjustments. There are few chiropractors in the state of Michigan using this technique.
BRAND
We're proud to be one of the few chiropractic offices in our area to have acquired the Pul-Star Analysis and Treatment System. It's fairly expensive and it's high tech but we are committed to providing the highest quality of care we possibly can to our patients.
How it Works
In the analysis mode, the PulStar tests each vertebra by generating a gentle mechanical impulse (light tap) and uses a sensor in the impulse head to measure each vertebra's resistance to the impulse. When all vertebrae are moving normally, their
resistance is fairly equal. But if some vertebrae are restricted in motion fixated/subluxated), their resistance to the impulse is higher th an the resistance of normally moving vertebrae. Normal movement of each and every spinal joint is considered to be essential to good spinal function. Once a joint is determined to be fixated, the PulStar may also be used to give small, gentle, mechanical thrusts into the restricted joint to help breakup fixation, relieve muscle spasm, and restore normal joint mobility. In some cases, a series of these treatments may be necessary to obtain maximum benefits. Precision and gentleness are the key notes to the PulStar System's popularity and appeal.
FDA Clearance
The PulStar has been reviewed by the FDA and approved for use for musculoskeletal pain due to joint subluxation, restricted joint mobility, myofascial spasm, ligamentous strain as well as tissue compliance analysis.
