What does the hand-held device do to my pet?
The device reduces the subluxations present in the joints of your pet. It cannot create a subluxation in your pet. It can only flip the neuronal 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 and without pain or injury. It can confirm that the neuronal subluxation is reduced even if it is not associated with an anatomical listing.

Can the device and VOM harm my pet?
NO! NO! NO!
The beauty of the VOM Technology is that it provides the exact amount of force to the subluxated joint needed to reduce the subluxation without having to induce a lot of motion.
It is motion that can potentially injure the animal: torsion, twisting, mass movement, etc. inherent in manual adjusting techniques.
The device trades motion for speed to maintain the force needed to reduce the subluxation through Newton's Second Law of Motion (FORCE=MASS X ACCELERATION).
In over 35,000 animal adjustments including pets with fractures, tumors and acute spinal diseases, the animal has yet to be injured with the "device". (NOTE: Sometimes the adjustments may cause some minor pain or discomfort but does not produce enough movement to cause injury).
Why not just use your hands like
other Veterinary Chiropractors?
Because our hands are too slow. The fastest an excellent veterinary chiropractor can move a joint under optimum conditions and patient cooperation is 80 milliseconds. The animal's natural reflexive resistance to adjustment is 20 milliseconds or 4 times faster. This demonstrates the need for patient relaxation and cooperation and is the reason that excellent techniques are imperative for success using manual adjusting. Conversely, the device fires at a rate of 2-4 milliseconds, which is 5-10 times faster than the animal's ability to resist adjustment. The patient is always adjusted, every time, all the time, whether they want to or not, in any position, attitude or mood.
Can the same device be used on horses
and small animals alike?
Yes. In fact, the device allows the veterinary chiropractor to set the amount of force he or she would like to apply to the animal. Sometimes, depending on the size and weight of the horse, the practitioner may want to consider using a device specifically designed to treat the equine called the Equine Adjusting Tool, or E.A.T. This tool was developed by Dr. William Inman in order to deliver adequate force to these larger animals.
 
 
The Vetrostim™ Device
Adapted from human application in this field, the Vetrostim incorporates the parameters for Myofascial release as delineated above, but for the extended range that is needed in the veterinary field.
The device is non-traumatic to the patient and easy to use. It is essentially silent and this alone is a boon to the VOM practitioner that occasionally gets a patient that is sensitive to the sound that the VOM device makes.
The Vetrostim has a number of specialized heads that are easily changed for different applications. It is a hand-held device like the VOM Adjusting Device and delivers a complete range of healing pulses to the animal without any trauma to the hands and wrists of the practitioner.
The Vetrostim and its application in Veterinary Myofascial Release Technique is the future of muscular therapy in the domestic animal.
The device is FDA approved
