Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation, or VOM, exists in between veterinary medicine and chiropractic care. It has similarities to some of the chiropractic modalities and functions by restoring function by reducing “subluxations” as is done in chiropractic care. It uses a hand-held device that is used in a popular human chiropractic technique called “Activator Method” but it is not to be confused with that technique.
The differences between VOM and chiropractic care are significant and distinct. VOM exists in a gray area between both professions (Veterinary and Chiropractic) and benefits from the positive aspects of both, a hybrid, and thus more effective than either by themselves. The VOM technique can be used on all sizes of animals. This includes small animals such as dogs, cats and even rabbits, as well as large animals like horses.
