The Causes and Treatments of Rib and Chest Pain

Did you know that rib and chest pain can be relieved by chiropractic care? Dr. Christopher Brill of Therapeutic Solutions, LLC in Newport News, VA wants his future patients to understand what type of conditions cause rib and chest pain, and how chiropractic care could can help.


Just as misalignments can happen to the spine, they can also happen at the front of the body where the ribs meet the sternum. Misalignments cause stress and pressure on the joints and the surrounding area. They put pressure on the nerves surrounding the area, which can cause pain directly to the area but also can affect function of many of the body’s systems. Another condition that can cause rib and chest pain is a Costo-Transverse Sprain, inflammation of the rib cartilage. Pain and difficulty breathing deeply are symptoms that affect those with this condition. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is another condition that may be causing pain in the ribs. This condition, however, also includes pain and loss of feeling in the shoulders, arms, and hands. This is a condition where the first rib sits higher than its corresponding vertebra, pressing down on nerves and blood vessels.


Through spinal and joint adjustments, customized stretches and exercises, and possibly massage, these conditions can be controlled. Manipulating the areas of the body that are causing unnatural pressure releases that pressure and allows the body to perform as it should, plus it will relieve pain and irritation.
