Kissing spine is when the tops of the bones of the spinal column being are close together and causes varying degrees of inflammation between the vertebral joints.
So what can be done to help a horse diagnosed with kissing spine:
Chiropractic care can help maintain as much movement in the joints between the vertebral bodies as possible.
Passive and active stretching of the neck and back can help increase flexibility.
Saddle fit is of utmost importance to ensure there is no weight on the spinous processes.
