Rib lesion/subluxation

Ribs can become damaged during the rough and tumble of contact sports. Unfortunately when this happens soft tissue and ligament damage can be the result.

How to tell if you have rib lesion/subluxation

  • Tenderness at the end of a rib (near the spine)
  • Soreness when the rib cage is touched
