How To Fix Flared Ribs?

For the past 3 weeks I ve been struggling with a rib head on my left side continually popping out. There hasn t been any particular event that has caused this to my recollection. I ve been seeing a chiropractor twice a week for this issue but have not had any lasting results. Is there anything else I can try? What are your thoughts on this issue?

Hello,

As a first line management, you can try analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist, better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
