RIB SUBLUXATION PAIN TREATMENT​
​​
Sharp rib or chest wall pain can make simple movements like taking a deep breath, reaching, coughing, or twisting surprisingly uncomfortable. At Bayview North Family Chiropractic, we take the time to understand what's contributing to your symptoms by assessing how your ribs, spine, and surrounding muscles are moving together. From there, we'll create a personalized treatment plan designed to improve movement, reduce discomfort, and help you get back to your daily activities.
WHAT IS A RIB SUBLUXATION?​​​​
​​​​​​
Your ribs connect to both your spine and your breastbone through small joints that help your rib cage move as you breathe and twist. When one of these joints becomes restricted or irritated, it can cause sharp, localized pain around the ribs or chest wall. This may happen after lifting, twisting, coughing, sports injuries, or prolonged poor posture. Understanding what's contributing to your symptoms is the first step toward finding the most appropriate treatment.
