Medical treatment is going to be along the lines of steroids or IV DMSO to reduce the inflammation of the spinal cord in the areas where the bony changes cause friction or pressure on it.

If your horse has been diagnosed with Wobblers, you might want to consider having the x-rays and myelogram looked over by a surgeon and/or neurologist at one of the veterinary schools to see if surgery might be an option for your horse.
