It may: Certainly the body is amazing, and mostly everything is connected in one way or the other. If your spine is out of alignment, it can certainly affect different parts of the body adversely with referred pain, especially as nerves that innervate certain areas emanate form the spinal area in question.

Spine Pain Options: This chronic pain in the distribution as you suggested is the result of an irritated nerve or facet joints or other injury typically in the lumbar spine (low back) which are caused by herniated disks, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease, etc requiring further evaluation by a spine specialist. The ribs may or may not be related with the spine ; the stomach air has no relation to spine.
