Spina Bifida Occulta is the mildest from of this neural tube defect where the spinal cord fails to develop properly. Spina Bifida Occulta can be asymptomatic, meaning you may never know you have it or get any symptoms. The treatments for this type of Spina Bifida depend on what complications or symptoms arise from the defect, if any. Mostly chiropractic and pain issues.
