A member asked:
Xray 3 wks ago showed levoscoliosis w/facet joint arthritis. have deng discs as well could this be causing lower rib pain as well?

Perhaps: Yes it could as the scoliosis and arthritis can pull on the ribs. A rib head could be out of place too and that can be painful. You may find relief from chiropractic care, neuromuscular massage, physical therapy, acupuncture as well. You may also benefit from seeing your regular doctor and make sure nothing else is going on.
