What is? the significance?of a ?small left sided cervical rib?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is it symptomatic?: We generally don't treat cervical ribs unless they are causing a problem. If they cause pain or disability, anti inflamatory drugs or manipulation may help. If it is still a problem surgery may be indicated.
