MALS Compass is an independent educational website about median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) and related vascular compression syndromes. We are not a hospital, clinic or university program, and we are not affiliated with any.
Why this site exists
MALS is rare, and many people spend years looking for an explanation of their symptoms. Our goal is to explain the condition, the tests and the treatment options in plain language, so that patients and families can prepare for conversations with their own doctors.
What we do and do not do
- We publish educational articles and practical guides.
- We do not diagnose, treat or give personal medical advice.
- We do not sell treatments, recommend specific clinics or take payment from healthcare providers.
