"Dottie is an 18 year old Quarter horse mare and for about 2 years now I have been having issues with her kicking out and throwing little bucks and not wanting to walk. When she did walk she always seemed to be stiff in her front legs, so I called the vet to come do a lamness test on her and they found she had severe Arthritis in her left hock, I really wanted Dottie to get better so with the vets advice we gave her hock injections and shoed her on all 4 feet. For awhile she seemed to get better but winter came and it all started over again. Thinking it was her Arthritis I just put it off and thought what she was doing was not too bad. Then fall came and she was still doing the bucking and walking like she was stiff in all 4 legs now at this point I had put so much money into her, I was frustrated, ready to give up, ready to sell her but a friend called Dr. Savko to come see her horse, so I too decided to have Dr. Savko look at Dottie - what was I to lose? Dottie had her first treatment with Dr. Savko and Dottie flipped out, she was in so much pain. Her hip and neck were out, for 2 weeks I did not ride Dottie waiting to see if she got any better, but with the 3rd treatment I could see the improvement in Dottie just how she walked. So after that 3rd treatment I took Dottie on a short ride and I was amazed at how well she did no bucking,no kicking out - she was back to the way she was when I first bought her. Dottie has now had 4 treatments with Dr. Savko - she went from rearing on the first treatment to standing totally still for her 4th treatment we even pulled all her shoe's. I am so amazed with what Dr. Savko has done for my horse, I may have gotten rid of a really great horse. But thanks to Dr.Savko I can keep my horse that I love so much and enjoy riding her again, in the autumn I may even do some more horse shows with her. I would highly recommend Dr. Savko before you decide to give up on your animals. His treatment really works! Dottie is proof of that. So for now on before I call a vet I will call Dr. Savko first. Dottie will be getting regular maintence for now on with Dr. Savko. A big THANK YOU for giving me back my horse. You were my last hope to help Dottie and I got my miracle. Thank you for being so patient when Dottie was flipping out and Thank you for making her feel 100% better.

Appreciate everything you have done:)"

"I can not say enough about the services Dr. Savko has provided.....My horse was (1) hard to catch out in the field, which is a sign that something is wrong. (2) He could barely turn his head from side to side. (3) He was very hard to cinch, and would buck every time. (4) He gave us the hardest time putting the bridle on. And last but not least, (5) He wouldn't trot/canter with or without a rider on him.... He is only 9 years old and for the last 5 of those years he was a lawn ornament.... We got him for our kids because his ground manners are impeccable. Unfortunately he bucked my youngest off....I called Dr. Savko because the chiropractor we use at the farm only comes out twice a year....I needed him seen before the fall obviously...Dr. Savko came out and with the first treatment found a lot of sore spots all over him....We are currently on our fourth visit and I have a totally different horse...He doesn't flinch at the sight of the bridle...He doesn't freak out over the saddle....He trots now with a rider on him...He is a great with the kids on his back....If you don't think this will work on any of your animals you are wrong....It does!!!!...Thank you Dr. Savko....without you we would still be doing this the "old way" and not having very good results..."

"I want to thank you for the awesome work that you have done with my dog, Babe. You know some of what has transpired, but not all.

Two weeks ago a grave was dug for her, our believing that she would need to be put to sleep. We had planned to take a trip and to take her with us. However, when I came home from church on Sunday, she was lying by the front door and could not get up. Her hind legs would not function so that she could not stand up and walk. I called you and you graciously agreed to see her, although it was Sunday. As she could not stand, she was carried into my SUV. I began to pray. On Monday she looked worse, and was just lying down, looking so weak as if she was going to die. A grave was dug for her. Our trip was postponed.

However, on Tuesday she began to look better and was eating and drinking. I was encouraged, but she still was not able to walk. I continued to bring her to you, and now she is doing very well, even to the point of being able to get up on her couch and down again, which is one of her favorite spots. Her other favorite spots are wherever I amshe is always near me at my feet. Babe is such a wonderful dog I would sorely miss her, my ever-present, obedient companion. Thank you so much for your willingness to help whenever I needed you. Your caring and love for animals is very evident. I am writing to thank you, and encourage you to pass this on to others who may also benefit from your kind and successful care.

Our trip is rescheduled and Babe is going with us, thanks to God who hears and answers prayer, and your extraordinary skill and care."

"Our 13 ½ year-old German shepherd, Moses, had stem cell replacement surgery in March of 2009. He was strong for about 8 months after surgery, and then he began going downhill once again. We repeated the stem cell surgery again in December of 2009 only on the left hip. We also tried hydro therapy during this time as well. We believe that helped Moses some too. We were willing to try anything, because he really is a puppy from the hips up. It was very difficult to see his downward spiral. We had even begun inquiring about wheelchairs for dogs.

Moses was first seen by Dr. Savko in the middle of February, 2010. When we first went to Dr. Savko Moses was dragging his back left leg. The left leg was worse than the right, but the right was also becoming very compromised. Moses at that time was not even attempting to stand. After one treatment with Dr. Savko Moses began to get himself up and stand. After two treatments he was walking, ever so shaky, about 10 feet. After the third treatment we noticed him standing to drink and eat on occasion and walking much further. He was also rolling over on his back to give himself a backrub. This was something that he had not done in a very long time. He greeted me at the door one day standing. I nearly fell over!!! He is now walking off the deck, with guidance, and going to the bathroom with minimal help at times. Yesterday, he walked down three deck steps and came into the garage to see what we were doing!!!!!

We are thrilled with his progress. Moses seems to be getting stronger each day. He is a classic case. When Dr. Savko said he would seem better then get a little worse, he did. He has now progressed to the point that we are going in for a treatment every 3 weeks. We hope to go every 4 then 5; then whatever Dr. Savko recommends. We are happy that the weather is warmer and that Moses can enjoy himself by sitting on the deck and barking at all the wildlife. We don’t really know how far he will progress, but it certainly has made these days for him much more enjoyable. We are very grateful for all that Dr. Savko has done." >

"Kodi is a ten year old Husky-Chow mix, but to me, he is one of a kind. Throughout his life, Kodi has experienced more than his fair share of injuries, but when he torn the ACLs in both his back legs within two days of each other, I wasnt sure he would be able to bounce back. Still, he has proven time and time again what a resilient pup he is. I know it was necessary for him to have surgery on one leg, but I was very leery about putting him through that ordeal a second time. That is when my mom remembered seeing a segment on KDKA about this chiropractor that helped dogs.

This is how I came to know Dr. Savko. He began treating Kodi in the Summer of 2007, and I cant imagine what our life would be like today if he wasnt able to help him. My friends and family are astonished at how well Kodi is able to walk without having the operation performed on his other leg, and no one will ever be able to convince me that it isnt all due to Dr. Savkos work."

"I love my Brussels Griffin dogs. I have 5 of them that were having some troubles. I did some research and found out about Dr. Savko. Here are my results:

1. Bruxells is a 13 year old female, I was told by my vet she would only live till 12. When I took her to see Dr. Savko she was listless, sleepy, and not very active. After only a few treatments she is alert and loves to be out walking in the park. If it wasn't for Dr. Savko I do not think my baby would be alive today.
   
2. Griffen, 11 year old male. He was my grumpy boy and a little aggressive too. After working with Dr. Savko he is much more calm and sweet with a better demeanor overall.
   
3. Ellie, 9 year old female is much sweeter and less cranky.
   
4. Jo Jo, 9 year old female is much more social.
   
5. Napoleon is a 9 year old male with Cushings Disease. His hips and legs used to slip out of place a lot and it made it very difficult for him to walk anywhere. Now he walks better with less pain.

"Thank You so very much for everything you have done and continue to do for my family and my dog Sir Choxie. I know that you make extreme sacrifices to help your patients. My whole family says you are a keeper. We have been blessed with a few good people in our lives throughout our struggles and we feel even more blessed to have you. You are a phenomenal person and doctor."

Note from Dr. Savko: Sir Choxie is a long hair dachshund that had severe neck and back spasms when I first saw him. Now he is much more comfortable with less intense and frequent spasms.

"This is a letter of gratitude for the amazing things you and VOM have done for my horse Stretch.

As you know Stretch and I had been having some very serious issues that were starting to affect our traing and competition. She would buck and kick incomplete defiance and pain every time I would ask her to pick up a canter to the right, sha was stiff and the vet's recomenndation was have no possitive effect.

I found your ad, and have to admit being quite a skeptic.

I saw huge differences in her after the first treatment, now after 4 treatments, we are to the point where she picks the canter up EVERY time I ask with no issue.

Its so good to have my partner back. Thank You."

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU DR. MIKE
I woke up one morning and to my surprise, when I was going to put my Chihuahua, Misty outside, her head was tilted down and to one side. My first thought was she had had a stroke. Of course I was frightened for her. As soon as my Vet's office opened I called to have her seen. They looked at her and said it could be her inner ear and gave me 2 kinds of pills for her2 weeks later, no change.

I had seen an article in the local newspaper during these 2 weeks about Dr. Mike and his procedures. I had gone for a 2nd opinion at another vet and they said it wasn't her inner ear, but possibly a tumor on her brain. Well, you can image as I walked out of the office I was numb. I had already called to make an appointment with Dr. Mike before the 2nd opinion. Dr. Mike had explained everything to me about the procedure and was feeling around her neck and found that it was really out of alignment. I was thinking to myself without questioning him, "what does working down the spine have to do with straightening out her neck?"

I am very happy to say that after a few treatments she is holding her head up straight and turning her head side to side. We still have a little way to go, but even after the 1st treatment I had seen some difference in her. She has also had problems with her knees in her back legs. This occurred not long after we got her. It was the first time I heard that this for breed of dog it was common, with the knees popping out of place and the limping. I have had Chihuahuas for over 30 years and not one of the previous ones even flinched. Misty is 6 years and way to young to have such problems. Now she is playing like a puppy and running around the yard without stopping every 2 or 3 feet to sit down. Dr. Mike has given "MY MISTY" back to me and I am truly overjoyed. You see, I was in a really bad car accident in '96 and modern medicine didn't work for me. I didn't have to "think about it" when I read the paper. I just went to the phone and called for an appointment with him and the rest is history. I know I can never thank him enough.
