dislocated rib
Dear Sir, I have, what was diagnosed (the first time) several years ago, as a dislocated rib. The chiropractor who treated me fixed it in one shot, but I don’t live in that area anymore. I’m trying to contact him at present. I went to a another chiropractor in Seattle (where I live) but she didn’t know what to do with me –cracked my back–no relief on the rib. I don’t think anything but chiropractic realignment can put it back, but I’ts not easy to find someone who knows how to do it. Help! Please…John McMorrow

I HAVE A LOWER RIB OR AS ITS CALLED A FLOATER RIB THAT DILOCATES OVER MY OTHER RIBS TO THE POINT THAT YOU CAN SEE THE RIB ITSELF. IT HAPPENS IF I ONLT BEND OR MOVE THE WRONG WAY. I HAVE LEARNED THAT A FEW STRETCHES AND PRESSURE WILL PUT IT BACK. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN SOMETIMES 3 OR 4 TIMES IN ONE DAY. I TAKE A COUPLE OF TYLENOL AND KEEP GOING. I AM NOW LOOKING INTO HAVING THE RIB REMOVED AT THIS POINT BACAUSE THE MORE TIMES IT DISLOCATES THE MORE LIKLY IT WILL DO IT MORE OFTEN.
