Pain in the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) — the two joints that connect the lower jaw to the skull — is a common human health issue with up to 60 per cent of adults experiencing symptoms of disease at some point in their lives. But up until a couple of years ago, the same couldn’t be said about horses — and that always puzzled researcher Dr. James Carmalt.
Carmalt’s curiosity led to innovative research that confirmed the occurrence of TMJ disorders in horses — an aspect of veterinary medicine that has been chronically overlooked for decades.
These studies showed that equine TMJs often do show signs of cartilage degeneration and arthritis which progress with age — just as they do in humans and other species.
