A member asked:
Can back misalignment cause chest discomfort... pain across ribs and such?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: Not clear what you mean by back misalignment. Trauma to the back can include pain in the ribs. Bad posture and crouched forward positioning can cause poor alignment of the back, and that can also cause discomfort in the chest.
