Pulstar is a less painful alternative that many patients prefer to other types of chiropractic adjustments. The efficiency of this tool is the reason it can be used without causing more pain. The tool tells the minimal amount of pressure needed for an effective chiropractic adjustment. The tool makes it easy to pinpoint the exact location of the pain, so treatment can be as precise as possible. Pulstar, when used in the adjusting and treatment modes, uses a computer to carefully control the impulses applied to a patient's body. This works to stop muscle spasms and fix damaged joints, so they can function normally. It also allows Dr. Mary Ann Bough, DC to administer treatment without having to turn or twist anything in your body.

Receiving chiropractic during pregnancy offers several potential benefits. For one, the weight gain during pregnancy could also put more pressure on your nerves. Additionally, extra weight may move your body out of alignment. Some women might also feel pressure in their lower back and pelvis as a result of softening joint ligaments.

Call Dr. Mary Ann Bough, DC to start your family on the path to health and wellness.
