What is it about?
This case illustrates the success of conservative chiropractic care for a patient with an aggressive sacral hemangioma not amenable to other treatments. As further research is needed on this topic, providers considering using manual therapies on patients with an aggressive sacral hemangioma should do so with caution and in collaboration with the patient’s medical or surgical team.

Why is it important?
Aggressive sacral hemangiomas are extremely rare benign tumors that can extend into the spinal canal, causing neurologic symptoms. Research on these tumors is limited given their rarity, and they have no agreed-upon treatment strategy. We report the first case of an aggressive sacral hemangioma responding well to conservative care, including manual therapies.
