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. Currently, Dr. Savko works in house under the direct supervision of licensed veterinarians at several prestigious veterinary hospitals across the Pittsburgh region. The work can be thought of as a gentle, yet deep, minimizing or removal of stress from the body in order to improve and maintain health. Neuromusculoskeletal points are evaluated and if imbalance is found, these areas are stimulated to help restore proper communication between the brain and body! The root of the work is from a powerful, effective, and comprehensive healing technology called VOM. Originated by a world renowned veterinarian through 10+ years of analysis on over 30,000 large and small animals. The research showed that animals lived longer and healthier lives! In the spring of 2002 Dr. Savko trained directly with technique originator Dr. Bill Inman, DVM. Then Savko worked intensively with a local veterinarian for over a year to received his certification. This one of a kind approach is more similar to massage and acupressure type concepts than it is to what most think of as “animal chiropractic”. 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, twist, or push on the animal, we gently yet directly “talk” to the nervous system via 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 and 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 help to restore balance to the body whether something is out or in, up or down, symptomatic or asymptomatic! |

VOM 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. |
