Can Accupuncture hurt someone with Chiari?

Has anyone with Chiari had accupuncture and had success or bad? Have had many tell me to try it for many different things, haven't yet.  Since taking me so long to get into a Chiari Dr I figure maybe its worth trying now to see if I can get some relief, but since a chiropractor is not recommended wonder about accupuncture but havent found an answer by searching yet.  Thanks for any replys!

Hello... The gal that I talked to about my daughters problems said that Acupuncture helped her daughter to a point, still had some HA's but they did get better. We've been considering it for our 12yr. old also.. good luck!! if you have this done, you'll have to post if you think it helps.
