Rib & Collarbone Care - Limitless Chiropractic of Austin, TX

The most common reason a massage therapist refers their clients to us is because they say "I think you have a rib out of place."

One of the most common reasons massage therapists refer their clients to our practice is because they suspect a rib is out of place. In chiropractic terms, this means that the rib is misaligned.

The Importance of Rib Alignment

Your body has 24 ribs, each playing a crucial role in breathing mechanics and protecting your vital organs. When a rib becomes misaligned, it can cause significant discomfort and even make simple movements and breathing difficult.

Rib misalignments most commonly occur either in the front near the chest or in the back along the spine. If left untreated, a misaligned rib may heal in an incorrect position, making you more susceptible to future injuries in the same area.

Chiropractic Adjustments for Rib and Collarbone Misalignments

Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct misaligned ribs through targeted adjustments. These adjustments can help restore proper alignment, alleviate pain, and improve overall function.

Manual Adjustments

In some cases, manual adjustments involving a controlled force may be used to realign the ribs. This technique often results in a popping sound as the rib returns to its proper position.

Gentle Techniques

For patients with extremely tender ribs, we also offer gentle adjustment techniques that do not involve manual force. These techniques are designed to provide relief and promote healing without causing additional discomfort.

Balancing the Collarbones

In addition to the ribs, the collarbones (clavicles) also play a crucial role in maintaining balance throughout the body. When the collarbones are misaligned, it can lead to a cascade of issues in other areas.

Our chiropractors are skilled in assessing and adjusting the collarbones to ensure they are properly balanced, promoting overall musculoskeletal health.

Don't Suffer in Silence

If you're experiencing rib or collarbone pain, don't let it continue to impact your quality of life. Seeking chiropractic care can help you find relief, restore proper alignment, and prevent future issues from developing.

"Absolutely loved my experience with Dr. Jacques! His adjustment was well done, keying in on my problem area quickly. After months of sleepless nights, no more back and neck pain. His adjustments definitely made an improvement while he is also very knowledgeable, reassuring and calming. He provided advice for aftercare and wellness afterwards. Highly recommend, go see Dr. Jacques!"

Bianca Souffrain

"I don’t normally leave reviews but I had to after today’s appointment. I’ve been going to Limitless Chiropractic for about 2 years for regular adjustments. Both Dr. Scott and Dr. James are amazing, 5 stars. Recently Dr Scott started offering CFR. I suffer from seasonal allergies and have noticed a change in my sleep patterns from the constant congestion. I normally just take over the counter meds to alleviate symptoms and suffer through it. After watching his videos explaining the technic, I decided to try something different. I finished the 4th session today (2 weeks after the 1st) and I feel awesome! Dr Scott did a great job of walking me thru the sessions (much different technic from a regular adjustment). I’ve noticed the biggest differences in my breathing while working out and quality of sleep. Highly, highly recommend!!!"

Alexandra Schwartz

"Visiting from California, I was eager to alleviate chronic neck pain from traveling. My husband had several positive experiences with Dr.Scott so he trusted that I’d have a similar experience. Within 10 minutes of being adjusted, I was pain free for the first time in 3 months. Legit felt “taller”, had elevated mood, and sustained energy for several days post visit.

Already have a second visit scheduled before my flight back to California. Thank you Dr. Scott!"
