Relieve Discomfort. Restore Function. Breathe Easier.

Rib pain can be sharp, persistent, and limiting. Whether caused by injury, muscle strain, nerve irritation, or joint dysfunction, rib pain affects daily movement and breathing. At Capital Chiropractic, we provide safe, non-invasive care to help address the underlying causes of rib pain and promote lasting relief.

NEW PATIENTS

Common Causes of Rib Pain

  • Muscle strain or spasm
  • Rib misalignment or joint dysfunction
  • Intercostal nerve irritation
  • Costochondritis (inflammation of rib cartilage)
  • Bruised, separated, or fractured ribs
  • Poor posture or repetitive strain
  • Injury to chest, back, or abdomen

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

  • Rib pain after a sudden movement, twist, or impact
  • Pain with breathing, coughing, or sneezing
  • Localized rib tenderness or muscle tightness
  • Discomfort after prolonged sitting or poor posture
  • Suspected rib misalignment or nerve involvement

Important Note

While chiropractic care is effective for most mechanical causes of rib pain, sudden chest pain accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating, or dizziness may indicate a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms are present.
