kissing spines are not good,
some can have an oporation and recover have 6-8 months off then are fine other can have an oporation then never be riden agian
and other have to be put down

my friend got a champion dressage hanoverian from holland got her shiiped to the UK she has just been out of work as had a foal and needed bringing back into work
and she was stumbling all over the place and constantly shaking her head
and would fall over when tied and tacked up for no reason and would be on the floor for around 1-7 mins

and the stresss of traveling brough kissing spine and a condition called wingles out from the stress
and she had to be put down

hope yours gets better
