So Chiropractor is Safe and Helpfully. So need to consult a Qualified Chiropractor.

Lack of spacing means you are possibly more mobile in this level. This should not be manipulated as Chiropractic possibly goes thru a quick movement. This level needs other forms of treatment.
In my opinion other spine above the hypermobile segment needs to be mobilised with Manual therapy (part of physiotherapy)
