Dislocating rib????!
Question:
Dislocating rib????
I have a rib that pops out of place. (in my back) I initially had this pain for almost two years, and always attributed it to my sleepy wildly, needing a new pillow, stress, etc... A friend of the family is a doctor of chiropractic, and upon visiting his office, I found out that I had a rib out of place. I've been told that this is fairly common. I've been in treatment for approximately 9 months, and my chiropractor often puts the rib back into place. Although the pain is significantly better, and the rib doesn't pop out nearly as far as it used to, it still happens. Has anyone else experienced this and been able to have the rib stay in place? What helped to solve the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.
Answers:
It sounds like you have "slipping rib syndrome."
The treatment for this is non evasive called Prolotherapy.
