Welcome to Animal Healing Now!

Dr. Michael G. Savko is a Pennsylvania licensed, board certified doctor of chiropractic. He is also certified in the incredible VOM healing techniques for large and small animals. Please note, the doctor is not a veterinarian, nor does he practice veterinary medicine. Since 1999 Dr. Savko has affiliated with veterinarians to help enhance the quality of care for large and small animals. Currently, Dr. Savko is part of the team at several prestigious veterinary hospitals across the Pittsburgh, Pa region. This one of a kind approach is closer to comprehensive bodywork than it is to traditional "animal chiropractic". Essentially the work is done by gentle and precise stimulation to the nervous system at specific points throughout the body which is more similar to massage and acupressure than it is to chiropractic manipulation. Just because Dr. Savko is a chiropractor does not mean that all he does is “adjust”. That is like thinking every Italian restaurant only serves spaghetti! Instead of having to yank, pop, twist, or push on the animal, we gently yet directly “talk” to the nervous system via gentle and precise instrumental stimulation. The approach attempts to reduce stress to the commanding and stabilizing systems of the body in order to improve and maintain health. We seek to find cause and not just chase effect because if we can remove or reduce causes, we can decrease or eliminate effects. Remember if something is “out” of balance and we want to bring it back “in” to balance, it is being pulled out of its normal position by muscles, those muscles are controlled by nerves. There may be irritation and pain due to inflammation and spasm. All of this and much more is controlled by the brain and communicated to and from the body via the nervous system! Ideally, if we can remove static from the nervous system we can restore balance to the body whether something is out or in, up or down, symptomatic or asymptomatic! |

The root of the work comes from a non invasive and very effective healing technology called VOM (originated in the 1980s after about ten years of research on tens of thousands of animals) which locates areas of your animal's nervous and muscle systems that have fallen out of proper communication or balance with the rest of the body and the brain. The goal is to naturally re-establish communication and balance in these areas thus reducing pain AND inducing healing. All accomplished in a very safe and gentle manner which can allow for more comprehensive and longer lasting results. |
|
Our nervous systems are vital, as they are essentially responsible for pain and function. Our muscles are important for protection, balance, movement, and stability. Our joints also protect and add structure. Therefore stress to the nerves, joints, and muscles can halt our natural healing processes, which then creates the potential to inhibit normal bodily functions and produce pain. Removal of stress to the nerves, joints, and muscles can reduce pain and discomfort, allowing the body to perform at a higher level therefore removing, reducing or even PREVENTING symptoms from occurring. |
