Veterinary Medical Manipulation
​

Veterinary Medical Manipulation uses specific and gentle movements to adjust the spine and other joints, similar to chiropractic adjustments in humans.  Joint restrictions can cause muscle tension, weakness, pain, and decreased athletic performance.  Organ dysfunction, or a weakened immune system can be signs of restrictions when they affect the nerves that run to these areas of the body.  Routine or preventative VMM treatments can also help keep competition animals in tip-top shape.  For these reasons, VMM can be extremely beneficial to geriatric, and working animals, and even those animals in which previous therapies have not been able to resolve their illness.  

VMM can be used to treat:

• Chronic musculoskeletal problems, like hip dysplasia, osteoarthritis, sacroiliac disease, lumbar pain, IVDD
  
• Decreased athletic performance
  
•  Inflammatory conditions, lick granulomas, hypersensitivity to being touched or groomed, and nerve pain
