How can i pop some of my ribs out, and they are located on the left side of my rib cage. i feel discomfort on the left side of my rib cage where my ribs where pushed inward due to chiropractic treatment/manipulation. do i need some sort of operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not a surgery. It is not unusual following treatment that you will have soreness. I would not attempt self-manipulation, but return to your Chiropractor and be re-evaluated. Use of warm compresses may ease some of your discomfort.
