Rib pain is commonly diagnosed and treated by our chiropractor here at Logan Chiropractic and Wellness (Perth CBD).
Your ribs are attached at the back to the mid back bones/ thoracic vertebrae (individual bones making up the spine). At the front most of your ribs attach to your sternum via cartilaginous joints. There are ten pairs of ribs that attach to the sternum through cartilage, and there are two floating ribs in the lower rib cage. The ribs protect vital organs such as the lungs and the heart.
