What does the hand-held device do to my pet?
It reduces the subluxations present
in the joints of your pet. It cannot create a subluxation in your pet. It can only flip the “nerve switches”
that are turned off, on. It cannot flip a switch off. It provides very accurate and precise motion to specific
areas of the pet’s spine and if a subluxation is present, it can detect and reduce it quickly without pain or injury.
It can confirm that the neuronal subluxation is reduced even if it is not associated with an anatomical listing.
What will happen to my pet?
1. The Veterinary Chiropractitioner
(VCP) will do a “diagnostic pass” which entails him/her running a device down the pet’s spine, searching for pathological
reads (reaction of twitching or jumping) indicative of subluxations. The subluxations found will be recorded.
2. If significant subluxations are found and they correspond to the clinical disease presented, then a course of
VOM treatment will be recommended.
3. An estimate may be generated and other procedures may be recommended and quoted such as blood work, x-ray, and
other diagnostic tests.
4. A second VOM pass will be made (therapeutic pass) and the changes to the reading pattern will be noted. Your
pet may already be showing signs of improvement.
5. A third VOM pass will usually be made, (second therapeutic pass) and that data evaluated. Most if not all of
the reads may be reduced at this point.
6. Your pet may then be sent home or may be observed overnight by the clinician depending upon the nature of the
case.
7. An appointment to return for readjustment will be made upon release and post-adjustment instructions will be
given as to activity and potential discomfort that evening.
8. Some medicines may be dispensed depending on the clinician and the nature of the case. If your Veterinary Chiropratitioner
is a Doctor of Chiropractic (treats people) they will work affiliated with your Veterinarian.
9. A series of 3-5 readjustments may be needed to reach a point where no “reads” are found in which case the normal
subluxation pattern is restored.
10. Maintenance checks may be recommended every 4-6 months to watch for reoccurrence.
What should I expect as results from VOM treatments?
You may see a response while your
pet is on the examination table. It can be that fast. An experienced VCP may have treated cases who haven’t walked
for weeks, had been given up for dead , and with one adjustment thrust saw the pet stand and walk about the exam
room. The average case will see some sort of positive response within the first week. Often the initial symptoms
will be gone within the first three adjustments giving the pet owner a false security that the problem is cured.
Cases that show no response within one month, may not resolve towards a satisfactory solution. Cases that have
had paralysis or lack of function for years or months may not respond well to VOM, however, one does not know until
you try.
Why do I have to come back?
The body has gotten used to functioning
in a state of being “out of communication” and the nervous system has created a “nerve adaptation” that allows
some marginal level of function. The body develops a false-memory of how it has “adapted” to the lack of “nerve
communication” caused by the injury. When the body is reintroduced to functioning correctly, it holdst for a stretch
of time until the nagging false-memory of the nerve adaptation re-expresses itself on the body again and the body
slips “out of adjustment”. Systematic readjustment on a succinct schedule will over time win out over the false-adaptive
memory and further adjustments will not be necessary unless another trama or illness occcures.
Treatment failures:
Treatment failures fall into two categories:
1. Nerve damage is extensive, significant
and permanent (too much serious injury for too long)
2. VOM treatment schedule not kept. (Most common cause of VOM failure and easiest to prevent)
3. If you want your pet to become as healthly as it can, you must keep the scheduled appointments.
What will it cost?
Dr. Miller will generate an estimate
for you including projected costs and will make estimations as to prognosis and success rate.
