A Pain in the Neck: Turning Improved Diagnostics into Meaningful Treatment Strategies with Dr Rachel Tucker This session will discuss the presentation and identification of neck pain and radiculopathy in horses and how advances in veterinary diagnostic methods are improving our diagnostic capabilities. I will talk through the current veterinary treatment options and how these integrate with physical therapies and a rehabilitation program. Discussion will include my experience of performing minimally invasive foraminotomy and keyhole surgery of the articular process joints, focussing on how careful case selection offers the key to a great outcome.
