✨🐾 Specialty Care for Your Pet: Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) 🐾✨

At Companion Animal Wellness Center, we’re so lucky to have Dr. John Harrison with us on Tuesdays and Fridays providing Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) care for pets.

What is VOM?
Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses a handheld instrument to deliver quick, precise adjustments along the spine and joints. These adjustments help restore proper nerve communication, improve mobility, and reduce pain or stiffness in pets. Many pets with back pain, mobility issues, arthritis, or nerve problems can benefit from VOM. 🐶🐱

How does your pet get started with VOM?

1️⃣ Schedule an appointment with one of our veterinarians to make sure VOM is the right treatment for your pet.
2️⃣ If it’s a good fit, we’ll schedule your sessions with Dr. John.
3️⃣ After 4–8 sessions, your pet will have a recheck with one of our veterinarians to make sure everything is progressing well.
4️⃣ Then you’re all set for the year—think of it like a prescription for ongoing care!

📞 Ask us today about scheduling a consultation to see if your pet could benefit from a VOM appointment with Dr. John. Your pet’s comfort and mobility matter to us! 🐾
