VOM is not to be confused with chiropractic care that also seeks to restore function through the reduction of subluxations. Unlike VOM, chiropractic treatment relies on manual palpation and a cooperative and relaxed patient to accurately detect and treat “subluxations.” Because of a failure to identify all “pathological reads” associated with subluxations, chiropractic can be expected to detect only 40% of subluxations. VOM on the other hand, easily identifies all “pathological reads” that produce subluxations and provides a fast, effective way to reduce them for optimum healing to occur. Unlike manual chiropractic where 50% of domestic animals can be expected to cooperate, VOM delivers 100% adjustments regardless of position, temperament or tension in the animal. Adding to the effectiveness of VOM technology is a built-in rescheduling protocol. This inserts the patient on a self-regulating readjustment interval.
