Temporomandibular Joint Pain in Horses or TMJ Pain in Horses.

In this video we talk about Temporomandibular Joint pain or TMJ pain in horses. The TMJ is the Jaw joint of the horse and the horse has two, one on either side of the head. Here we show you how to pin point the location of the joint, the symptoms of pain and dysfunction within the joint. We also cover the common causes of problems within the TMJ, along with how the vet will diagnose the problem, with possible treatment plans should your horse be diagnosed with the issue.
As always we finish with how to prevent unnecessary problems within the joint, by improving horse care and training. If you would like to read further on the TMJ we have an article on our website, that will give you more details, you can check the article out at the link below. Once again thank you for watching and we hope to see you again soon.
