Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation
(VOM)

VOM (a non-manual modality of animal chiropractic) is a non-invasive healing technology that locates areas (called subluxations) of the animal's nervous system that have fallen out of communication, and re-establishes normal communication, thus inducing healing. This full body, neural healing regenerates  balanced, proper function to the body.

 

Myofascial Release (MFR)

The VOM technique is often followed by MFR. This technique complements and enhances VOM by relieving the increased muscle and fascial tension caused by the subluxations. The resulting decreased muscle spasm gives the animal pain reduction and decreases the recurrence of subluxation. This accelerates the overall healing process.

Somato-Visceral Diseases

VOM can be used to treat non-musculoskeletal conditions including organ diseases. VOM is used to promote a balance between the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (organ function) components of the autonomic nervous system. They complement each other to alter the blood flow and nervous stimulation to all areas of the body. VOM utilizes sites on the body similar to acupuncture points as well as others to return balance to these two elements.
