Innervation and nerve injections of the lumbar spine of the horse: a cadaveric study.
The distal limb innervation of the horse has been studied extensively to allow use of local anaesthetic techniques to detect the origin of pain in lameness. However, the innervation of the lumbar spine has so far been poorly described and a more precise description may assist clinicians to localise back pain in the horse. ⋯ This study has a clear clinical relevance for development of diagnostic and therapeutic injection techniques of the lumbar spine in the horse.
