Event Description

Progressive Hoof Care Practitioners is hosting the webinar, Recognizing and Understanding the Role of Pain in Structural and Functional Asymmetries, on July 10, 2025. The clinician is Dr. Kevin Haussler.

When client horses present with lameness or other issues accompanied by clinical signs of pain, this adds to the challenges faced by hoof care practitioners. Join Dr. Haussler to learn about the role of pain in creating structural and functional asymmetries, with a focus on understanding pain mechanisms and laterality, and learning to distinguish between lameness and neurologic conditions.

In this webinar, Dr. Haussler will:

  • Explore pain mechanisms and adaptive/maladaptive responses
  • Discuss the impact of pain on equine movement and posture
  • Explain the concept of laterality and how pain influences limb preference and movement patterns
  • Discuss the interactions between lameness and neurologic conditions
  • Review rehabilitation strategies for managing pain and restoring functional symmetry

Dr. Kevin Haussler DVM, DC, PhD, DACVSMR, is a leading researcher in the objective assessment of musculoskeletal pain, conservative management of spinal pain and dysfunction, and application of chiropractic techniques in animals. He is an associate professor at Lincoln Memorial University in eastern Tennessee. He is a charter diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation and an instructor for the Equine Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification course at the University of Tennessee. In 2019, Dr. Haussler created an online educational program at the Veterinary Compendium, which focuses on elevating the standards of care for animals through a collective exploration of innovative, interdisciplinary approaches.
