subluxation of a rib head

(2 discussions)

Hello Dr. I went to a chiropractor to adjust my hip Oct. of last year. That night or the next day I had extreme pain center of chest and mid back pain .Went back for another hip adjustment a week later mentioned chest pain no answer. I did not go back .A family member who is a chiropractor but who lives far away said it may be a subluxation of a rib head. I went to an accupuncturist for ongoing IBS and he tried to help the discomfort in chest that at times I still have when I lay on the left side, not much help. Is there anything to help sometimes it is worse than others. It hurts to the touch at times . Thank you.

    First of all, forget the chiropractor (short term)and go to a physical therapist (long term). It sounds like you do have some type of rib dysfunction.

    Off and on for years I get rib heads. It is very painful. Go to a chiropractor but each time I go as the the years go on it takes more and more adjustments before it goes away. How can I avoid getting a rib head, and when I do how can I get rid of one faster.
