That is definitely an area that chiropractic can produce great results with. When the body is stressed, wetend to fall forward and cave in on top of our lungs and heart. This can cause further stress and imbalance. I adjust ribs all the time and appreciate it greatly when I need it. I have had experiences where my ribs were subluxated and it was difficult to move and breathe. Fortunately for me, my dad was a chiropractor and he was able to take care of the problem in a few treatments. The rib usually mislaigns because the spine has misaligned. Putting the vertebrae in place, usually corrects the majority of the ribs misalignment.
