VOM
Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation
Orthopedic manipulation isn’t just for people — pets can benefit from it, too. Just like humans recovering from an injury or managing joint discomfort, cats and dogs can benefit from gentle orthopedic manipulation techniques designed to improve mobility, reduce pain, and support overall musculoskeletal health.
How does Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) work?
Veterinary orthopedic manipulation is similar in many ways to the therapies used in human musculoskeletal care. It focuses on improving mobility, reducing pain, supporting joint and muscle function, and helping pets recover more comfortably from injury or chronic conditions.
What are the benefits of Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation?
Whether your pet is recovering from an injury, experiencing mobility challenges, or working toward a healthier weight, veterinary orthopedic manipulation can help support their comfort, movement, and overall physical well-being.
Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation may help to:
- Reduce or eliminate pain
- Strengthen muscles and endurance
- Improve function and mobility
- Promote balance and spatial awareness
- Facilitate weight loss
- Encourage normal weight-bearing and gait after surgery
- Prevent muscle contractions and atrophy
