Rib dysfunction

Rib dysfunction

For rib dysfunction, the care plan begins with an evaluation of the thoracic region and the way it moves. Care for the mid- and upper-back may include manual adjustment, special stretching exercises, posture work, and non-invasive therapeutic treatment after the cause of the problem is assessed.

After the findings are clear, the practice’s pain-relief phase may include chiropractic adjustments, muscle stimulation, laser therapy, Graston Therapy, TECCAR Winback Therapy, or Shockwave Therapy. The correction phase may add posture examination, postural activation exercises, corrective exercise with cueing, assisted stretching, rehabilitative conditioning, and active care or lifestyle modification.

DeFabio Chiropractic begins with a thorough examination and accurate diagnosis before recommending treatment. The care plan may include chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, movement training, or other non-surgical options when appropriate for the findings.
