Exclamation Back problems-kissing spine? Help please!

hello,
have a 13 year old arabxwelsh pony who I have now owned for 4 years. I have competed him at county level showing and am am moving on to dressage. However, for the last two months he has been having back problems. It started with bucking and cow kicking in canter, its now got to the point where I can't even run my hands along his back without him bucking, let alone riding him! I've had two different chiropractors check and manipulate him, with no sucess. I've had his saddle checked and flocked twice and nothing is working, infact, he's getting worse. He is also stiff, verging on lame on his offside hind leg. Many people have said his symtoms sound similar to that of kissing spine and although I've researched this, I still know very little. Does anyone have any advice or infomation of backproblems like this? I'm getting desperate! Thanks
