Should I get chiropractic care after decompression surgery for chiari malformation?

[shelent]

thanks, I questioned it cuz im post surgery. Figured the technical problem is gone even tho I still have the symptoms. Pain is just so overwhelming I dont know what to do, finances really tight to see specialist again, but i'll do what I need to to take care of myself.

I don't think it would be a good idea. I  have problems with both my neck and back and I do go to a Chiropractor, for my back. He's great and he's helped, but I would never let him touch my neck, even if I hadn't had prior surgeries. It's just not worth the chance, in my opinion, that something might go wrong, seizures, etc

I'm surprised Selma hasn't responded to your post. She's the one that would know.
