Correct-no: Spinal manipulation cannot correct the problem. However, chinese medicine, acupuncture, and diet changes can help improve symptoms and even reverse some of the damage over time. Research upper cervical chiropractic care as well as crainosacral therapy. As adjuncts they can help improve flow of spinal fluid and blood to the area.

No, but surgery can: Surgery sucess at relieving leg pain is in the low 90's% chiropratic care can't enlarge the spinal canal in a lasting way.
