How Chiropractic Helps Rib Pain
Chiropractic Adjustments
Misaligned ribs or vertebrae can place pressure on nerves and muscles. Gentle adjustments can help realign the rib cage and spine, often providing immediate relief.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Manual techniques like trigger point therapy help release muscle tension, improve mobility, and reduce scar tissue buildup around the ribs.
Kinesio Taping
Elastic therapeutic tape provides external support to the rib area, reducing pain, improving stability, and aiding in recovery during movement or sports.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Your chiropractor may recommend specific stretches and exercises to reduce tension, improve posture, and prevent re-injury.
When to See a Chiropractor
