A chiropractor can move the rib back to into place. It may take several treatments, but the pain will drop dramatically, and the treatment will be healthy and fairly easy. Dr. Gazdar explains: The corrective adjustment is fairly simple. The chiropractor will use a drop table, activator (a hand-held instrument), or some efficient lever to quickly "pop" the rib back into its proper position. The adjustment must be made precisely and quickly. Total relaxation on the part of the patient is absolutely essential.
