Join our very own contributing writer Mother Diva for the Chiari Malformation Awareness Walk Details below:
Chiari Malformation is a condition that affects 1 out of 1000 people. It’s a condition that causes brain tissue to go into your spinal chord, causing neck, shoulder, back and spine pain. It also causes dizziness, vertigo, low heart rate and sleep apnea.

“Apparently I was born with it. Chiari is basically a dipped or lowered skull. It was seen on an MRI as a incidental finding,” said Mother Diva. I will share my story in another article at a later time.
Some have claimed to have reverse the condition by using an inversion table 5 minutes a day. Others have had decompression surgery. Mother Diva did not require surgery.

I noticed that there were no walks in Indiana or Illinois so last Saturday I drove to Wisconsin for their walk and created a walk for this weekend.
Here are 2 video Links from last Saturday’s event that has an Interview with an attendee who was 11 days post second decompression surgery. Video of Angela Green who has undergone corrective surgery. (On Facebook)
