Laparoscopic surgery for hiatal hernia

Why would anyone think a chiropractor can help with a physical tear in the diaphragm? Many people have small hiatal hernias and live with them.

@tsch a hiatal hernia is caused when there is a tear in the diaphragm and the stomach pushes through it. A chiropractor cannot repair that hole in the diaphragm, but he/she can manipulate the portion of the stomach that has pushed through, back to its normal position.
A chiropractor cannot repair that but can pull the stomach down each time the stomach gets through the hole in the diaphragm.

@tsch
Because the OP mentioned hiatal hernia and NOT a tear in the diaphragm. They appear to be 2 different situations. It's known that chiropractic techniques can help with hiatal hernias.
