Chiari malformation doesn't typically heal on its own without surgery, especially if symptoms are present. While some individuals with mild or no symptoms might only require monitoring, surgery is generally recommended when symptoms are present to relieve pressure on the cerebellum and spinal cord. While surgery is the primary treatment, meditation techniques can be helpful for managing symptoms and improving quality of life
