In 2002, Dr. Adamo moved back to the USA to accept the position of Clinical Assistant Professor in Neurology/Neurosurgery at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin, Madison-WI, which he served from 2002 until 2007.

In the same year, Dr. Adamo founded Applied Veterinary Technology, LLC, for the marketing and distribution of the Adamo Spinal Disc™. During his Academic career, Dr. Adamo developed an alternative medical treatment for granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis (GME), designed a frameless guided stereotactic CT brain biopsy, investigated alternative medical therapy for brain meningioma in dogs and cats and most recently, developed the first artificial disc implantation for the canine cervical spine for the treatment of Disc Associated Wobbler Syndrome.
