What Causes Rib Pain?
Are you experiencing pain when taking in a deep breath, having trouble twisting your upper body, or having pain around your chest when reaching forward or overhead? You may be suffering from poor rib movement causing pain with these motions. Poor rib movement can come from muscle spasms either in the back or in the muscles between the ribs in the rib cage.
If you feel rib pain after an impact, like a car accident, a fall, or getting hit while playing your sport, rib pain may be a little more serious. Pain after impact, the first thing we have to rule out is a broken rib. If you are experiencing chest pain and any pain in the left arm, please call 911 as this is usually related to a heart attack.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help Rib Pain?
When a rib moves out of place, whether in the front or the back, it can be very annoying. It likes to irritate the muscles surrounding the area of the rib and it feels like it never goes away no matter how hard you try. We at Kinach Chiropractic can help with this issue by performing an assessment to conclude that your rib pain is a good fit for treatment with chiropractic care, and then begin treatment the same day on the soft tissue and adjust as needed!
What To Expect For Treatment?
-
Chiropractic manipulations to the thoracic spine where the ribs meet the spine.
-
Manual Muscle Therapy to the soft tissue of the middle and upper back, or chest area.
-
Corrective exercises to help regain proper motion of the ribs and upper back.
