In 2012 whist Dianne was on a working teaching trip to the UK and Ireland to run a Photonic Red Light course she met a highly skilled Chiropractor as one of her students who recommended her to consider training in VOM??!!
After some investigation, Dianne was accepted into the program because of her unique skill set, and invited to attend this training in the USA by Dr Bill INHAM.
It has had a profound effect on her.
“I had found a select few horses that had a repetitive (weekly) return to muscular holding patterns which were coming from the spine. Each was seen by various osteopaths and chiropractors but with out success. JENT maintained a level of performance enabling the horses to compete successfully. But maintenance is NOT what I wanted to do, I wanted to get to the source, to the primary cause and eliminate it. But I couldn’t. I’d heard that Dr INHAM had addressed functional subluxations that did not present as chiropractic listings with a new technology he called VOM or VONIT. The moment I got back to Australia I used it on those very horses and to my surprise and wonderment it worked.”
All JENT Master Bodyworker’s will be endorsed by Dianne to attend this training program with Dr INHAM. This is a unique opportunity.
What is Veterinary Orthopaedic Manipulation?
VOM, also known as Veterinary Orthopaedic Neurological Integration Technology -VONIT (as it is abbreviated) is a diagnostic and treatment technology based on reduction of the neuro-physiological phenomenon known as the subluxation.
The presence of this neurological interference is detected by eliciting a pathological reflex that is easily seen grossly on the patient by the practitioner and the client.
To date there have been 3800 practitioners trained with this method of diagnosis and treatment.
The VOM Technology has enjoyed widespread recognition by professionals and the general public because of its ability to solve here-to-fore unsolvable problems.
The main value of the technology is found in its ability to detect impending disease before it expresses itself as a clinical entity.
The key understanding VONIT is this:
“If enough of the synaptic ganglion switches are turned-off due to inflammation and subluxation tension then the organ system nourished by that nerve and blood flow will be diminished, shut-down and become dysfunctional.
Switching them back on again with the kinetic pulse of the activator reconnects the nerve and consequent blood flow to support healing and full function again.”
VONIT FAQs
Is Veterinary Orthopaedic Manipulation (VOM) chiropractic care?
No! VONIT exists in between veterinary medicine and chiropractic care. It has similarities to some of the chiropractic modalities and functions by restoring function by reducing “subluxations” as is done in chiropractic care. It uses a hand-held device that is used in a popular human chiropractic technique called “Activator Methods” but it is not to be confused with that technique. The differences between VOM and Chiropractic care are significant and distinct.
VOM exists in a gray area between both professions (Veterinary and Chiropractic) and benefits from the positive aspects of both, a hybrid, and thus more effective than either by themselves.
Why is VONIT so accurate?
VOM is so accurate because it finds and reduces all neuronal subluxations. All neuronal subluxations have a pathological reflex demonstrably associated with them.
A pathological reflex is like a knee jerk response. It is either there or it is not. It is an objective means to determine the presence and reduction of neuronal subluxation. The pathological read is not “partially there”, “kinda there”, or “almost there” adding a factor of subjectivity to interpretation. VOM is a precisely objective science.
Chiropractic “Listings” vs. VOM “Pathological Reads”
All chiropractic techniques (veterinary and human) rely on the chiropractic “listing” to determine the presence of a subluxation. Through manual palpation a misplaced bone prominence or a taught and tender muscle may be discovered by a competent veterinary chiropractor whose patient is cooperative and relaxed.
This is a listing, an anatomical subluxation sign, and almost always is indicative of a neuronal subluxation syndrome. Unfortunately, only 40% of all neuronal subluxations produce palpable anatomical subluxation signs. This means over half of all the animal’s subluxations will be overlooked if anatomical listings are used as a means to discover them.
The good news is that all neuronal subluxations produce “pathological reads”, and all these reads are obvious and easy to discover and reduce. The goal of an adjustment in an animal is all the vertebral subluxations in that animal are reduced. Subluxation reduction based on anatomical listings will get approximately half of the total neurological subluxations present in the animal.
Subluxation reduction based on pathological reads will get them all, and will verify they have been reduced. It’s fast, easy, and effective.
How it works
All chiropractic modalities have one thing in common in that they all reduce the vertebral subluxation complex by providing motion or force to the fixated or subluxated joint.
Spinal Injury = Neuronal Subluxation Syndrome = Pathological Read
Neuronal Subluxation + Motion (force) = Subluxation Reduced
So, if you put motion into a joint that is associated with a neuronal subluxation sign, a pathological read, you reduce the subluxation. It is that simple. All the various types of chiropractic techniques have this motion or force into the subluxated joint in common.
VOM delivers its kinetic force with a hand-held device. It looks a bit like a spring-loaded doorstop. Your VOM practitioner has extensive references covering the research investigating the principles portrayed above and can provide them upon request. These references are replete in chiropractic journals.
Is VOM an animal version of Activator Methods, a human chiropractic technology using the hand-held device?
No. Activator Methods developed by Arlan Fuhr D.C. uses the spinal accelerometer and relies exclusively on listings demonstrated by leg length checks which are anatomical subluxation signs.
Why is VOM so successful?
Because VOM locates all the neuronal subluxations present in the animal regardless of whether clinical listings are present and reduces them and confirms their reduction. Inherent in the VOM Technology is a built-in rescheduling protocol that inserts the patient on a self-regulating readjustment interval. Again, an easy, objective science.
How can VOM be that easy?
Why not? Who says that a healing modality has to be complicated, difficult and expensive? Who says it should take hundreds of hours to learn and perfect? A technology that goes to the root of the problem, a simple technology that relies on the animal’s innate ability to heal itself, one that re-establishes communication with the pet’s ability to heal itself, will be easy, powerful and effective.
