Kissing spines in horses is a condition that often goes undetected until the horse begins to show signs of discomfort, such as bucking, sensitivity along the back, or resistance to being ridden. The condition occurs when the spinous processes of the vertebrae touch or rub together, causing inflammation and pain. Early diagnosis and a customized treatment plan—ranging from rest and therapy to injections or even surgery—can help manage the condition and improve your horse's quality of life.
