What Causes Collar Bone To Protrude While On Chiropractic Treatment?

Hi, I recently started chiropractic treatment for my back and neck pain. My chiropractor also taught me exercises that I should do at home daily. After about two months of two chiropractic sessions per week and daily exercises, my neck and back did get better. However, I realized that one of my ribs about two inches below my collar bone was popping out. I consulted my chiropractor about this problem and he said that my ribs were misaligned due to one of my daily exercises that he had told me to do. That particular exercise involved pulling on a band with my shoulders. I feel like my ribs became misaligned due to the chiropractic sessions (when he was pushing with pressure on my back) and not the daily exercises. My chiropractor said that this could happen and there is nothing for me to worry about. He also said that I should continue doing my daily exercises. I don t know if I should continue to trust him...or consult another doctor.
