Back problems are rarely isolated, focal problems
Focus on the Equine Spine
Focus on the Equine Spine offers international postacademic courses for equine veterinarians and licensed equine physiotherapists interested in the pathology, diagnostics, therapy and rehabilitation of equine spinal-related disorders and dysfunctioning.
Current spinal research and recent advances in diagnostic and advanced imaging techniques have created awareness of the prevalence and clinical significance of formerly underappreciated or undiagnosed spinal and sacroiliac disorders in horses. Detailed spinal-pelvic examination, manual therapy with a focus on chiropractic techniques and specific rehabilitation programs provide an increased opportunity for effective management of neck, back and sacroiliac problems in horses.
