Back pain can be caused by many instances. Such as ulcers and even subluxations. Subluxations are when the spinal bones get locked in motion causing muscle tension, inflammation and pain. The simple act of tacking up can cause the horse to act out of sorts.
As an animal chiropractor certified by the american vet chiropractic assoc and a rider, I can discern if your horse will be helped by chiropractic. I also teach at Options for Animals Chiropractic College and know first hand that your Vet cannot define when chiropractic is needed, they have no education in that realm. They can rule out ulcers and the like but have no training in spinal biomechanics.
