What happens when a performance horse keeps struggling with back pain even after veterinary treatment, spinal injections and changes to his management? In this episode of The Horse Listener, I take you through a real endurance horse case, following the clinical reasoning behind my gait assessment, the spinal and muscular findings, a conservative chiropractic approach and the questions I took back to the referring vet, including why the multifidus might be part of the missing picture. This is a case about asking better questions, recognising the limits of our findings and bringing different professionals together to support the horse. The case is ongoing, and the clinical hypotheses discussed are not confirmed diagnoses. If you're a qualified equine practitioner and you'd like to learn how we reason through cases like this one, comment PRACTITIONER'S EYE and I'll send you the details of our January programme. #TheHorseListener #EquineChiropractic #EquineBiomechanics #HorsePerformance #EquineRehabilitation
