 Did this horse fracture their pelvis? I have a mare that is finishing up her 6 months of stall rest due to a fractured her pelvis last year. It's just a stress fracture but her psoras muscle is still slightly inflamed. So once she's healed we hope she isnt a candidate for lower back pain.

Unfortunately yes, fracture and tore sacral ligament and muscles. I would say the psoas muscles were one of the hardest to eventually fix. It was a solid 6 months till we saw the tension go away. I had a woman show me some stretches to help keep up on the area in between magnawave treatments. Also...we had a set back where he started showing lumber/psoas tension again, couldn't figure out why. X-rayed the hind feet and they were negative. :-( soon as we corrected the problem there was no more tension. Definitely keep up on proper angles on the hind end, when recovering from such an injury there are so many factors that can set you back.

turnedout - 2017-01-25 8:24 AM Thank you all! Robaxin was brought up and candidate as well, they didn't have any in stock but I will call and request to have it ordered. We actually do have the Pessoa system! LOVE it! When he got the go ahead to start working we put him in the system for the first 30 days, but to be honest it hasn't been used since. Maybe for this particular horse it should be in the routine weekly workouts. As far as other treatment options, magnawave seems to be the one that helps dramatically. Just as far as upkeep and routine maintenance the entire barn gets treatment biweekly. I will start searching for a massage therapist, who has there horse on a regular massage schedule?

I have my horse on a regular schedule with his massage therapist.  Shes helped him so much.  She was coming ince a week until we got him sorted out, now we are down to at least once a month.

IMO what sounds the best for your horse would be an aquatread, ACCUPUNCTURE (works wonders) & guanabenz is my choice over ace.
