Pain around the ribs can result from injury, heavy coughing, or poor sleeping positions, causing a rib to become “stuck” and limiting your ability to breathe or move comfortably.

What Causes Rib Pain?

• Trauma or injury to the ribs or surrounding muscles

• Persistent coughing or illness

• Poor posture or sleeping positions

• Joint restrictions around the ribs and spine

How OMM Helps:

At Still Point Osteopathic Care, we perform a detailed hands-on exam to identify structural imbalances. Then, we use gentle manipulative techniques to:

• Guide the rib back into proper alignment

• Release tight muscles and connective tissue

• Improve breathing mechanics and reduce inflammation

What to Expect:

Your treatment plan is personalized, combining OMM sessions with home exercises. Many patients notice improvement in pain and function after just a few visits.
