Orthomanual Veterinary Medicine

Orthomanipulation* was developed specifically for the treatment of vertebral and joint misalignment.

The method of treatment is to correct the misalignment, thereby allowing the spine to adjust to a normal position and the nervous system to recover itself.

From 2000-2001 D.C. Aharon was trained by a doctor of humans and applied the human method to companion animals and uses it successfully since then.

* Orthomanipulation means 'working with the hands in the right way'.

Reasons for a consultation include:

• my dog / cat is stiff or has difficulty standing up
• my dog / cat can’t go up the stairs or jump into the car
• he / she has been limping for a while (rest and medicine are insufficient)
• he / she is partially paralysed, stumbles over his / her fore- or hind limbs
• he / she has had a discopathy (Hernia Nucleus Pulposes)
• also for certain behavioural abnormalities, such as restlessness or fearfulness

Rehabilitation and fitness

Dogs can undergo a rehabilitation, exercise- and fitness training.

Reasons for rehabilitation:

• muscle-contractions
• injuries to muscles and tendons
• postoperative patients (after surgeries on knee, shoulder or hip) – animals with hernia and paralysis (post-traumatic or postoperative) - patients with lumbosacral instability and lower back pain
• arthrosis patients (dogs that have difficulty getting up, especially after resting) – hyper mobility with animals that are still growing (the dog seems to ‘fall apart’)
