My youngster is jumping very badly to the right, so much so he twists his whole body, dangles his left leg and ducks his shoulder.
Alarm bells started ringing so had chiro out who's seen him all through his back troubles, but nothing wrong with him (we suspected it to be shoulder related).....
HELP!
 
I know you've said you have had someone out to look at the back but I would suggest getting a decent equine vet out to give him a once over, particularly looking at his legs. Often leg issues are the main route of problems and then they can cause back problems which is why they are detected by 'back people' often much later than a vet could detect them.

Hope you get it sorted.
 
Is this with or without a rider? If it's something he's just started, it may be rider related (no offence meant), the rider might be affecting his balance.
I'd get a vet out for a look, just in case.
