Vertebral disorders and injuries of the sacroiliac joint have been identified as substantial causes of chronic poor performance in horses. ORSHINA
I'm e-mailing from the UK and wondered whether you had ever come across a horse with a twisted pelvis...

She was a very timid little dog, who had possibly been harshly treated during training. She had a twisted pelvis and problems in her lumbar region, which were put right in three sessions. She was very sweet and gave her chiropractor a lick at the end to say thank you very much.

The vetting didnt pick up the fact he too had a twisted pelvis and was in pain from this old injury. it was only when i had a chiropractor and a physio look at him and treat him it was picked up.
My 16.2 horse was exactly the same. I had his back checked and he had a twisted pelvis.

She was such a good girl. He found that she had a couple of vertibrae in her neck were misplaced and three on her spine, plus a twisted pelvis ( which he was able to show me, when placing his hands on the point of her pelvis each side one hand was much further foward and higher up that the other.

Spider has an emergency appointment at the chiropractor today. Apparently in all that rain last week he got a little too rowdy and busted his tail in the field. The result is a twisted pelvis. Yep - you read that correctly...the whole darn thing is rotated to the right about 30 degrees, taking with it his lumbar vertebrae and putting pressure on his sciatic nerve. All this is causing intermittent numbness in his hind legs which is making him stumble a LOT, but he doesn't appear lame.

The sacroiliac joint is characterised by very strong ligaments and the widespread belief that it is immobile. In reality, whilst its mobility is not as obvious as is generally seen in joints, it does exhibit mobility and it is eminently prone to chiropractic subluxation. In this regard and in the overview of the biomechanical function of the spine it is a paramount joint. Subluxation of the sacroiliac joint is very commonly observed in the canine primarily because over extension of the hindquarter is one of the most common of athletic mishaps. Once established, its effect is quite dramatic.
