Spinal ManipulationVeterinary Spinal Manipulation (VSM) is a system of health care based on finding and releasing restrictions in the normal movement of the bones of the spine and pelvis. Spinal manipulation results in pain relief and restoration of normal function of the spine and its associated nerves. As each vertebra is palpated, it is checked for range of motion and position relative to its neighbors. Spinal manipulation can be accomplished by using a very short, specific, rapid thrust, or by a slower low force technique. Bones are not put into place, but are allowed to return to their normal position and movement. More importantly, manipulation stimulates sensory nerves. In humans, eighty percent of the input to the brain comes from inside our bodies. When a bone is not moving through its full range of motion, sensory signals the brain decrease. Stimulation increased input to the brain, changing the output from the brain and helping restore the area to normal. Indications for VSM
