How to Fix a Rib Out of Place

[@stevewillis5963]

Thank you! The ability to give another person drug free pain relief is an amazing gift. The act of using that ability (and especially free online) shows compassion and sets you on a higher level! Constant pain can be debilitating and has a major effect on quality of life!!Thanks again.

[@lostliger34]

I have said it before and I mean it . You deserve noble prize . I hope one day you get rewarded for helping us.

​​@@DrRowe yes you do! As a female with scoliosis and past shoulder surgery you have been a god send!!!❤thank you

[@balsa7008]

I went to the ER from pain caused by this before, it can scary. I just found this in desperation and honestly I could barely do the first round of stretches from pain. But by the time I did them the 3rd time I could take modest breaths without too much pain. Thank you for this, seriously!

[@christianokolski9701]

I was skeptical that these exercises would work, but they actually do. Since doing them with some patience and consistency in the past couple of days, my persistent sharp pain has finally started to subside. Not a coincidence IMO.

[@sinisterproductions2202]

Its Sunday morning and I thought I was gonna haft to go to the doctor for my back pain I’ve literally been crying a little here and thier 😢 all morning in-tell I realized that my back and rib pain were connected.. that lead me to this video and I just here to say thank you so much you really saved the day your like a super hero ❤

[@JoshUseldinger]

Been having my rib pop out from my combo of desk-work and skateboarding, and the foam roller trick just changed my whole day. So much instant relief and cracks

[@jessimartinez_5]

I’ve dealt with rib pain ever since popping one out for 4 years now and nothing has offered relief like the foam roller exercise. Thank you sooo much.

[@DrRowe]

Thanks for watching!

[@carriedemaio4555]

My husband has been fighting with his ribs for YEARS. the roller FINALLY helped! Thank you so much!

[@DrRowe]

That’s great to hear!

[@kims9225]

Thank you! I've been fighting to get a rib back in place since the end of February 😬. This video was really helpful.

[@DrRowe]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching too.

[@shelleymusleh439]

Oh my! That’s a long time. See a chiro. They will pop it right back in and then you just go about three times a week for two weeks. Then just try to go once a month or so for a little while

[@bfunderb5899]

I can’t explain the relief this gave me after horrendous pain in my top right side. I was honestly feeling pretty dejected, especially as the scapula was scraping against the rib injury which made particularly horrible to do even basic tasks. I really didn’t know what to do. Thank you so much.

[@hac13]

My husband thinks I’m crazy when I tell him my third or fourth rib slips out. I have EDS and I recently lost 130 lbs and am off opioids. So I’m working on learning what the root cause of my pain is. A lot of my shooting but squeezing pain is that rib being out. Once I pop it back in it’s like I can finally breathe!!!

[@CuernoPequeno1007]

[@michaelwilson5371]

I’m 150 lbs 5’10” my brother is 6’1” 200 lbs and we both have something from sleeping on or sides or something where the weight of the compression fucks up our ribs it’s the worst, for sure understand

[@anneg8319]

I have hEhlers-Danlos Syndrome. I'm so happy that you've taken control of your life! Good job! So much information is now available on Ehlers-Danlos syndrome mostly due to the efforts of Dr. Diana Driscoll. But with an "invisible illness" it is challenging for people to understand something is actually wrong and you're actually in pain or fatigued or frustratingly depressed because you want to accomplish so much but just physically can't. Keep it up. It is worth it!

[@DepressedPumpkin]

Ihave EDS and even my nose dislocates, ribs acan pop out even while sneezing

[@brandywoods1227]

Ha! I have EDS too! Zebra club

[@ghostbunny3424]

Thank you so much. I have been having horrible back problems where the ribs attaché to my spine, nonsurgical but terrible muscles spasms, this stretch is such a relief! I can't believe it. Thank you, Thank you.

[@hatchpickleball4147]

This complex helped my ribs. My rib felt stuck, every time I would breathe in I would have an incredibly sharp pain, I couldn't take full breaths. After doing a few stretches and self mobilizations the pain stopped! This is amazing.

[@whitehorse3828]

Thank you so much Dr. Rowe for these video body adjustment fixes! I have been depending on Chiropractors for 20 years (some chiropractors were horrible) and spent a ton of $. But your tips have helped me do it myself and not have to depend on anyone. Thank you for sharing. It shows how generous and giving you are to genuinely help people! You are LOVED! :-)

[@DrRowe]

Well thank you, and thanks so much for watching!

[@heathergross7718]

As a professional horse trainer Ive had so many broken bones and injuries. Chronic nerve pain that made me give up my career in my lower back and butt. $50,000 in medical bills to a surgery center that never figured out I had a twisted and rotated pelvis and wanted to fuse my SI joints. Can you imagine how bad that would have messed me up? Fusing me together in that position? I don’t trust Doctors anymore because of it. I’ve spent a year stretching intensely. It’s changed my life and reduced my pain drastically. But my pelvis is still a little twisted and rotated, which keeps a rib pulled out of place and hurts in the middle of my back like no other. I’ve had issue with that vertebra turning upside down and now I can’t get it to stay in place, but this stretch helps more than anything else. So thank you for sharing. Hopefully I’ll get the sucker to pop back into place eventually!

[@MyPalJimbo]

I hope you have got it to go into place properly by now

Thank you for this video, it's really helped me. My lower ribs were out 2 weeks ago, from lifting a heavy tent pack. I couldn't cough, sneeze, blow my nose or lay on them, as they were SO painful! I was needing osteopathy or chiropractic. I couldn't get to my osteopath and then found this video here. I used the exercises and also did some daily self massage to my intercostal and spinal muscles and I'm fully recovered! I'm so grateful 😊 I'm carrying on the exercises because I'm hoping they'll help prevent the same injury happening again.

[@Urbanconservative]

I wanna stress the importance of doing the stretches and excersizes as well. Been doing just the roller or various hard objects to pop for years until I got my crap together and started doing the routine in the video and I’ve noticed such an insane difference from just a few times a day

Thanks. I will experiment with all of them to see what works best. Right now seeing a DO for thoracic block--lots of work to open up the rib cage and stretch the abdominal muscles which got somehow very short. To then have a rib problem (i think this was the one fractured from a leg kick in karate class many years ago.) It doesn't usually bother me but all that work on the whole thoracic/rib is changing things. He told me to "listen to my body." In the middle of the night when there is one more reason I cannot sleep, listening to my body is "hearing" the roaring contractions on the bottom of my feet which cause trigger points which ....etc. Listen to my body? My body sounds like it is crying. Thanks again.

@SpineCareDecompression: I enjoyed watching your video; it was simple and easy to follow. It seems like there’s a lot here for problems with the ribs that are especially at the back, or the true ribs. I came on here looking to pop some ribs back in place. The thing is there are lots of videos out there, to deal with the true ribs. But my problem is one of the floating ribs, maybe two of them. I sat down to eat lunch two days ago, and when I stood back up, I heard a fleshy pop sound, and felt a lot of pain on one side at the front, at the level of the floating ribs. It’s painful, and it’s slowing me down in life, so I’m really hoping to find a video that deals with getting those guys Back when they need to be. Can you recommend a video that does that, please? I had a quick look through your channel and didn’t see anything specific to that, although certainly that doesn’t mean it’s not there. It just means I didn’t see it.

[@OhioBoii330]

I have to get a tennis ball but I found that a racquet ball works best and place it near the popped rib as closely as possible while laying flat on a hard floor or even standing up against a wall. I put a little bit of pressure on the ball and just roll it around to loosen up the muscles. Then once they are loosened up, I then put as much pressure as I possibly can on the ball and roll it around. I don't ever know which way the rib needs to go to get back in place, so I just wiggle around and roll the ball in all directions until I feel a sense of relief. That's how I know the rib is back where it's supposed to be. But, for the more severe the slip is, the harder it is to put it back in myself. I've gotten to the point several times where I absolutely can not walk and I have to go to either the emergency room or if I'm lucky I can get into a chiropractor within a couple hours.

Hey Doc, thanks for the content, I’ve been struggling now for about 2 years after I had gotten a rib graft, and I believe the scar tissue has grown back in a bad way and is causing me discomfort. I’ve tried many stretches and exercises and seems to be that nothing helps but I want to avoid surgery. When I look in the mirror there is basically a small lump exactly where they harvested the cartilage and whenever I do sit ups for example it constantly makes a “click” sound, or when I put my finger and rub over the lump it also clicks. Every doctor has said it’s nothing serious but it causes me discomfort daily and not sure what next steps I can take to move forward.
