Veterinary Medical Acupuncture

Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy (VSMT)Spinal manipulation is a gentle technique used to release joint surfaces that are not moving freely.
I use my hands to perform a specific high velocity-low amplitude thrust to restricted, or hypomobile, joints of the spine and extremities. Restricted motion in any part of the body (whether from arthritis or injury causing abnormal movement patterns) can force other joints to compensate. The strain on those areas then lead to problems in the joints, nerves, muscles, tendons and ligaments causing reduced joint motion and joint stiffness, muscle tension, muscle atrophy, reduced circulation, reduced nourishment of joint cartilage, and can lead to the development of chronic pain. Spinal manipulation has a positive effect on the nervous system (called neuromodulation) that results in pain reduction and improved comfort, function, mobility and health. The goal of this therapy is to promote optimal and pain-free motion in the joints of the spine and limbs and support the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. |
