Can I see a Chiropractor after I know I have a Chiari Malformation?
Yes, just don’t let them twist your head or neck. It’s okay to visit them for lower or mid back pains, but if they say or imply they can “fix” your Chiari by Chiropractic manipulation, they do not know much about Chiari. Feedback from thousands of patients shows that it’s much more likely to increase your symptoms than fix them. Neck manipulation almost always results in increased symptoms. This is not the same as having a traction procedure done by a Chiari Expert/Specialist.
