Pulse Wave Profiler

Chiropractic Leadership Alliance has developed the Insight Pulse Wave Profiler, a device that assesses the balance between the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems, thus indicating the overall balance of the autonomic nervous system. As a result of this new technology, Dr. Badkoubei can now focus on the whole body effect of chiropractic care.

The PWP Scanning modality measures Heart Rate Variability (HRV). HRV is the beat-to-beat variation in heart rate. This natural rise and fall of heart rate is caused by several physiologic phenomena, including breathing and autonomic nervous system activity. Healthcare professionals utilize HRV for a wide variety of clinical applications. Dr. Badkoubei uses HRV to get a window into how the autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulates heart rate in the baseline or resting state.

How Does It Work?

By placing a hand on a sensor, the Pulse Wave Profiler analyses a patient’s heart rate variability (an accepted autonomic assessment) while it checks for arousal responses that affect the validity of the readings. Expressing autonomic balance with a single number, chiropractors now have a way to examine the communications between the brain and the heart through the rhythms of the nervous system.
