Description

An invaluable reference dedicated to the equine back, providing comprehensive coverage by international specialists. Equine Back Pathology: Diagnosis and Treatment is the first book to explore conditions and problems of the horses back and pelvis, which are often difficult to diagnose and treat. The importance of the horse’s back to their function and athletic ability cannot be underestimated. There has been progress in recent years in understanding back problems in the horse, and this ebook brings together the most recent research. Pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of back pathology in horses was poorly understood a few years ago. The complex biomechanics of normal back function and the challenges of isolating and diagnosing pathology, monitoring treatment and evaluating outcome have contributed to the paucity of knowledge. This ebook dedicated to equine back pathology is well overdue and this one brings together information on equine back pathology, currently scattered throughout the literature, into a single well-organised and well-presented reference source. 298 p.

Back pain is a common presenting complaint from owners and riders in a variety of horses, but particularly in performance horses. When dealing with horses with suspected back pain, the owner/rider/trainer usually becomes aware of a problem due to a lack of or poor performance of the animal rather than thoracolumbar pain.
