I found this on 'thehorse.com'.I hadn't even considered this but I guess horses need therapy too. I thought that this short article was good because it outlines the steps I use to discover what's ailing someone. The following paragraph are some of the steps.
A concern when treating horses with back pain is the identification of any musculoskeletal issues that might be creating pain in the hock or stifle. That type of lameness problem will cause a horse to alter its limb movement, placing strain on the back. It is also important to address issues of farrier care. Sometimes shoeing requires a trial-and-error process to work out the best option. Also, with a complaint of back pain, it can be valuable to check or treat for gastric ulcers. The panelists further remarked that some mares demonstrated signs of back pain when they were cycling.
I frequently tell my patients that their back pain compensatory or altered movements may mask or cause even more pain. The same applies to animals.
