Dermatomes on a Hafflinger Indicative of Nerve Damage


Areas of unusual colour banding on the legs, called dermatomes, were present on this six year old Hafflinger’s legs. She was failing to track-up properly. These indicated that one or more of the branches of her spinal cord were being constricted, with the pinched nerve sending out a signal to the part of the body it controls to vasoconstrict. This was resolved through chiropractic treatment. You can read more about Horse Nerve Damage and Injury on our website.
