    The low cost Wagner Pain Test™ Model FPK Algometer is the worldwide preferred pressure threshold and pain tolerance gauge of physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists and other health practitioners. Pressure algometry has been proven valid as a reliable measure of localized pain in muscle, joints, tendons, ligaments and bones.

    The FPK proves to the patient, health practitioner or insurance companies, the benefits of the medication, physiotherapy or manipulation applied. As patient treatment progresses the FPK quantifies improvements or setbacks. Pain threshold measurements provide unique information not obtainable by any other method. This documentation can be used for clinical and research purposes. For patients, the objective measurement give reassurance, confirming their improvement.

    Pain Threshold The minimum pressure that induces pain in tender and trigger points of tissue. The FPX quantitatively assesses the tenderness of hypersensitive areas. The FPX 25, used for pain threshold testing, is appropriate for determining the minimum pressure that triggers pain at the point of interest.

    Pain Tolerance The point where painful pressure stimulus cannot be tolerated. The FPX assesses pain sensitivity for maximum tolerated pressure. The FPX 50 is used for pain tolerance testing: the wider range necessary for comparative tests between a normal sensitivity control point and the area of interest.
