Veterinarians use their hands to identify areas of restriction and, once identified, a precise thrust on the immobile anatomical structures is applied (with care taken to remain within the normal range of motion of the joint). This treatment can restore normal motion of the vertebra thus removing neurological blockages. When the nerves can efficiently communicate with all the structures in your animals’ bodies, they will begin to heal. Pain diminishes and mobility is restored, allowing the body to perform at its optimum potential. Animals accept this treatment well and resolution of the restriction often results in immediate relief from pain. Most animals enjoy their treatment.

Spinal manipulation can be used to treat animals with painful necks or backs. It can help older, stiff animals with chronic lameness issues that develop back problems from moving incorrectly. It may be helpful in dogs with intervertebral disc disease by relieving some of the pressure on the disc. Animals with a vague, hard to diagnose lameness or that just seem “off” may have problems in the spine or pelvis that can be treated. Chronic musculoskeletal problems such as sacroiliac disease, hip dysplasia, luxating patellae and arthritis may benefit and some cases of urinary incontinence or lick granuloma on the legs can be helped with VSM as well.
