A member asked:
Can someone have inflammation in the posterior ribs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rib pain : Yes. The ribs are connected to muscles and the spine. There are several regions where information could occur. I was trained to evaluate ribs as an osteopathic doctor. You can seek out an osteopathic doctor who specializes in manual therapies.
