Causes of Rib Pain

Often the cause of a fractured, broken, popped or cracked rib can happen with any known injury or trauma, but might have happened secondary to some bout of hard coughing, or movements that involve a repetitive stress to that region from the body, such as golfing or rowing. In other situations a person who has cancer or an infection could experience what is known as a pathological fracture as a result of disease process affecting the bone. Older individuals or osteoporotic persons are also vulnerable or at higher risk of getting what is called a fragility fracture, again because of diseased bone structure.

An individual can also notice a cracked rib or popped rib from the high velocity impact, or a "crush injury." This is most common in injuries related to auto accidents and impact sports such as ice hockey, Aussie Rules football, gridiron and rugby.

The signs of Rib Pain

Generally there can be intense pain associated with movement and with breathing. Bending and twisting may also be quite painful. Tenderness and pain within the area of involvement.

What To Do For those who have Rib Pain

Within the immediate short term, rest and immobilisation are the best things which may provide relief. If you have been in an automobile injury, depending on the severity of damages it is imperative to rule out injury to other organ systems, such as the heart, aorta and lungs.

A persons health background and physical examination will give you the doctor using the information essential to make a presumptive proper diagnosis of a broken or fractured rib.

Radiographs (x-rays) may be used to identify a bone trauma. Cracked ribs, fractured or broken ribs are some of the most often identified pathologies when confronted with chest injuries.

When a complete diagnosis has been created, your doctor can determine the appropriate strategy to your particular problem.

Chiropractic Adjustment for Popped Ribs

Depending on the severity of damages, healing times can vary. Often having a "popped rib," conservative care can be very effective for providing pain relief and restoring normal function. Low force, specific chiropractic adjustments can be a safe, effective and delicate method of correcting a misaligned rib-spine problem, or a popped rib. Chiropractic instrument adjusting could be a very beneficial approach to providing relief in those who may not be candidates for traditional manual chiropractic techniques, for example seniors, or people who may have other health problems involving their problem. We utilise an instrument based approach in many circumstances.

Any treatment recommendations would be according to a precise proper diagnosis of your condition. Your chiropractor will conduct a thorough medical history, including ongoing medical conditions, current medications, traumatic/surgical history, and lifestyle factors. Examination can include orthopaedic and neurological tests if necessary with respect to the degree of pain, as well as x-rays or other advanced imaging such as magnetic resonance (MRI). Most episodes of popped ribs respond favourably to maple grove chiropractic and resolve quickly.

When i mentioned earlier, this information is meant as a guide and anyone experiencing severe pain should talk to their doctor immediately for a complete and thorough assessment.
