Lumbar Spine TP Kissing

"KISSING SPINE" of the TRANSVERSE PROCESSES? KSTP's "OVERRIDING of the TRANSVERSE PROCESSES? ORTP'S WHAT? Never heard of it. Of course not. Dr. DeClue is bringing, yet again, another undiagnosed and unrecognized injury to help more sport horses having poor performance that until now only veterinarians trained by Dr. DeClue know how to treat, rehabilitate and manage. It is another "Common as Dirt" injury that affects the horses ability to canter, lead change, push, sit, not twist or drift when jumping, haunches fixed to one side, sliding straight or being able to roll back and many other clinical signs that has not been fixed by your Veterinarian injecting the "back", "SI" or lower limb joints. As everyone knows world wide that "Kissing Spine" or Overriding Dorsal Spinous Processes in horses is a common and sometimes career ending diagnosis. Is this true for lumbar transverse processes? What causes KSTP or ORTP's in sport horses? How does this affect the horses performance biomechanically? So many questions that Dr. DeClue, like yourself, started asking herself years ago recognizing the pattern of injury and performance limitations in her own patient population with KSTP or ORTP's. She alone had to find solutions to the problem that included treatment, rehabilitation and management protocols. Watch and learn as Dr. DeClue once again brings to light another injury occurring in sport horses that is not diagnosed nor recognized by the veterinary profession. #equineperformance #TheHorseFirst #DeClueEquine
