Spinal Injury

What is Spinal Injury?

Spinal Injury usually occurs in accidents such as fall or collision. The symptoms are extreme back pain or pressure in your neck, head or back.

Weakness, incoordination or paralysis in any part of your body. Numbness, tingling or loss of sensation in your hands, fingers, feet or toes. Loss of bladder or bowel control can occur as well.

Horse Therapy For Spinal Injury

People who have had a spinal cord injury may have varied levels of impairments from sensory loss to quadriplegia.

A complete spinal cord injury above T-6 is a contraindication for riding, but would not necessarily prevent a client’s participation in other types of equine programs such as driving and unmounted activities.

Many people who have had a spinal cord injury may participate in therapeutic riding lessons, carriage driving or may choose an equine assisted therapy program to address challenges with trunk control or coping with their injury.
