A member asked:
What could be some alternative/natural treatments for syringomyelia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgical treatment: Syringomyelia is a disorder where spinal fluid is trapped within the spinal cord, this is a serious condition and more common problems such as a chiari malformation, or a history of trauma need to be ruled out. Surgery might be needed depending on the severity of symptoms. I know of no alternative treatments that have work.
