Mid-Back and Rib Pain
People are often surprised to hear that ribs may need to be
adjusted.
In fact, this type of problem does not typically resolve on its own
and can cause quite excruciating pain.
A symptom a patient with rib problems might have is pain in
the back on deep breathing. Heavy lifting, pushing and
pulling injuries are common causes for acute injury but overuse and
improper
ergonomics
can cause rib problems as well.
Mid-Back and Rib problems are treated with
adjustments,
ultrasound
and
ice in the acute
injury, and with
electrotherapy,
exercises,
and
ergonomic
correction as needed. These problems resolve very well
with this treatment.
