VOM, 3LT & Thermography

        VOM and Low Level Laser Therapy (3LT)

This is a non surgical approach to spinal disease and lameness originated by Wm. L Inman DVM CVP.  The VOM treatment and diagnostic technology is an application that has been developed over the last 18 years by Dr. Inman.  These techniques incorporate the use of the chiropractic activator, the Vetro Stim muscle stimulation and Cold Laser Therapy.

VOM Dual Adjusting Device

The VOM Dual Adjusting device is the basic tool in the VOM Diagnostic and Treatment Technology and Veterinary Neurologic Adjustment Procedures. It can be used on all animals from a parakeet to a draft horse and delivers exacting forces from 0.0lb to 93.5 lb/millisecond.  The device reduces the subluxations present in the joints of your pet. It cannot create a subluxation in your pet. It can only flip the neuronal switches that are turned off, on. It cannot flip a switch off.  It provides very accurate and precise motion to specific areas of the animal's spine and if a subluxation is present, it can detect and reduce it quickly and without pain or injury.

The Vetrostim™

The Vetrostim™ adjusting device is used exclusively in Veterinary Myofascial Release Technique. It is an electrically powered adjusting tool with a range from zero to 60 lb of thrust. It is microadjustable and has several treatment heads for various treatment techniques. This device is FDA approved and guaranteed for 17 years. The Vetrostim device can be used in place of all the adjusting devices used in the VOM Treatment Techniques and is also applicable to the VOM Diagnostic Techniques.

3 LT Laser (Erchonia PL5000)

While there are numerous lasers available Erchonia PL500 uses a line beam configuration  which has many advantages as it can easily motion up and down a meridian or laser site. They can be used to stimulate a whole meridian at one time and can be applied to a whole body area or just one focal point. It also allows for the use of different frequencies which have been widely researched so that they are specific for each condition, organ, gland or tissue.  There are already disease specific Equine  and Canine protocols established for such conditions as arthritis, , bruising, bursitis, bone injury, colic, cushings, dermatitis, edema etc. etc….

                    
                           Infra-red Thermography

Thermography has been used in human medicine for many years and currently is an alternative non-invasive (i.e. no radiation) technique replacing the classical mammogram.  Temperature change is where veterinary infrared thermography plays an important role. Measuring surface body temperatures with a veterinary infrared thermography camera (IRT) is a much more sophisticated version of the mud patterns used by the ancient Greeks. It shows us where to investigate further to find the underlying problem. Once treatment has been instituted, it shows us how effective the treatment is. Additionally, veterinary infrared thermography helps us monitor the animal athlete's body to see how well it is adapting to any training it is undergoing.
