Chest and Rib Pain Treatments

Could Pain in Your Chest Begin in Your Spine?

It comes as a surprise to many of our patients that the pain they experience in their chests can begin in their spines. Your ribs connect to your spine, so muscle pain and other conditions originating along the spine can radiate out into the chest.

For a complete diagnosis of any pain that you may experience in your chest or along your ribs, come to Gutierrez Chiropractic Inc. We offer medical chiropractic treatments that can alleviate that pain and help you live more comfortably. Call us today for a free consultation or to book your appointment.

Look for the Signs of Spine-Based Chest Pain

Chest pain that's a result of a spinal problem that can be treated with chiropractic care has a few symptoms that help you distinguish it from chest pain from other sources. If you experience any of the following symptoms, please call us.

• Aches and pain in your back muscles or shoulder blades that are made worse by sustaining one posture for too long, such as sitting at a computer
• Pain in your rib joints that is made worse by coughing, breathing deeply, or moving your shoulders or trunk
• Stabbing pains through your chest wall that is made worse by coughing or sneezing
• Pain around your rib cage that's increased or eased by moving your trunk

For a free consultation about reducing or eliminating your chest or rib pain, please call Gutierrez Chiropractic Inc.
