Video Q&A: Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

“Bucking in canter is one of the frequent observations in horses with sacroiliac pain. These horses tend to extend their back, and they may kick out backwards with one or both legs. I don’t know of any other condition in which I see that, and I think it probably has to do with nerve-related pain.” ~Dr. Sue Dyson

Dr. Sue Dyson explains how the horse’s lumbo-sacroiliac region functions, what kinds of issues cause pain in and around the area, and how to spot signs of trouble. In addition we discuss available options for medical treatment and rehabilitation, and how to prevent your horse from developing S/I problems in the future.
