Did you know that acupuncture can be used to help treat shoulder sweeney?
Shoulder sweeney is a condition affecting the shoulder muscles of the horse where these muscles become atrophied. It is typically caused by damage to the suprascapular nerve where it runs relatively superficially across the front of the horse’s shoulder joint. This nerve innervates muscles in the horse’s shoulder, so when the nerve is damaged, these muscles stop working and start to waste away.
Electroacupuncture is a helpful modality in the treatment of shoulder sweeney and a session is seen here on a yearling that injured his shoulder by going through a fence several weeks ago.
