What is veterinary orthopedic manipulation?
VOM as it is abbreviated is a diagnostic and treatment technology based on the neuro-physiological phenomenon known as the subluxation. The presence of this neurological interference is detected by eliciting a pathological reflex that is easily seen grossly on the patient by the practitioner and the client • The misunderstood subluxation definition: Throughout veterinary medicine the term “subluxation” is considered to be a “partial dislocation”. This is not the case. A subluxation occurs at the inter-neuronal cell body of origin in the dorsal horn of the segmental spinal cord. • Subluxation and X-ray. A subluxation cannot be seen on x-ray. It is an event that occurs in the nervous tissue and will not show up with any type of imaging available in the field to date.
