No! 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 Methods" 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.
VOM is not animal chiropractic care and thus is not taught by the American
Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA). VOM is not recognized by
the AVCA (the AVCA does not recognize anything it does not teach).
The Animal Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) does not recognize
veterinary chiropractic care or the AVCA for now.
Dr Inman has formerly presented at with American Holistic Veterinary
Medical Association, Association of Pet Dog Trainers, the Maine Veterinary
Medical Association, and the German Shepherd Clubs of America, to name
a few.
Why is VOM so accurate?
VOM is so accurate because it finds and reduces all neuronal
subluxations. All neuronal subluxations have a pathological reflex demonstrably
associated with them.
A pathological reflex is like a knee jerk response. It is either there
or it is not. It is an objective means to determine the presence and
reduction of neuronal subluxation. The pathological read is not "partially
there", "kinda there", or "almost there" adding a factor of subjectivity
to interpretation. VOM is a precisely objective science.
Chiropractic "Listings"
vs.
VOM "Pathological Reads"
All chiropractic techniques (veterinary and human) rely on the chiropractic
"listing" to determine the presence of a subluxation.
Through manual palpation a misplaced bone prominence or a taught and
tender muscle may be discovered by a competent veterinary chiropractor
whose patient is cooperative and relaxed.
This is a listing, an anatomical subluxation sign, and almost always
is indicative of a neuronal subluxation syndrome.
Unfortunately, only 40% of all neuronal subluxations produce palpable
anatomical subluxation signs. This means over half of all the animal's
subluxations will be overlooked if anatomical listings are used as a
means to discover them.
The good news is that all neuronal subluxations produce
"pathological reads", and all these reads are obvious and easy to discover
and reduce.
The goal of an adjustment in an animal is all the vertebral subluxations
in that animal are reduced. Subluxation reduction based on anatomical
listings will get approximately half of the total neurological subluxations
present in the animal.
Subluxation reduction based on pathological reads will get them all,
and will verify they have been reduced. Fast, easy, effective.
How it works
All chiropractic modalities have one thing in common in that they all
reduce the vertebral subluxation complex by providing motion or force
to the fixated or subluxated joint.
Spinal Injury = Neuronal Subluxation Syndrome = Pathological Read
- Neuronal Subluxation + Motion (force) = Subluxation Reduced
So, if you put motion into a joint that is associated with a neuronal
subluxation sign, a pathological read, you reduce the subluxation. It
is that simple.
All the various types of chiropractic techniques have this motion or
force into the subluxated joint in common.
VOM delivers its force with a hand-held device. It looks a bit like
a spring-loaded doorstop.
Your VOM practitioner has extensive references covering the research investigating
the principles portrayed above and can provide them upon request. These
references are replete in chiropractic journals.
Is VOM an animal version of Activator Methods, a human
chiropractic technology
using the hand-held device?
No. Activator Methods developed by Arlan Fuhr D.C. uses the spinal
accelerometer and relies exclusively on listings demonstrated by leg
length checks which are anatomical subluxation signs.
Why is VOM so successful?
Because VOM locates all the neuronal subluxations present in the animal
regardless of whether clinical listings are present and reduces them
and confirms their reduction. Inherent in the VOM Technology is a built-in
rescheduling protocol that inserts the patient on a self-regulating
readjustment interval. Again, an easy, objective science.
How can VOM be that easy?
Why not? Who says that a healing modality has to be complicated, difficult
and expensive? Who says it should take hundreds of hours to learn and
perfect?
A technology that goes to the root of the problem, a simple technology
that relies on the animal's innate ability to heal itself, one that
re-establishes communication with the pet's ability to heal itself,
will be easy, powerful and effective.
Is VOM effective on horses?
You bet! All the reads we see in the dog and the cat are magnified
in the horse. Areas usually devoid of subluxations in the shoulder areas
of dogs and cats are hot spots in the equine.
Many of the AVCA-trained veterinary chiropractors have taken the VOM
Seminar will choose to use the device to locate all the subluxations
and then proceed to manually adjust the horse using the AVCA techniques.
Why haven't I heard of the
VOM Technology before?
Because it works!
That may not make sense at first, but consider this: if the VOM Technology
does what it appears to do, it makes a lot of techniques, surgeries
and medications obsolete.
The professionals that provide those techniques, surgeries and medications
will be placed in academic and financial jeopardy. These are the people
that control publications in the field and control licensure and applications.
AKA politics.
How can I get more information?
For starters, you may click on "Contact Us" for more information on
the VOM Technology, how to find/choose a VOM practitioner, what it will
cost, etc.
Also, you may find more information in related fields by investigating
acupuncture, acupressure and classic manual veterinary chiropractic
care.
