Chest Pain with Negative Labs? A Chiropractor May be your Solution

Ever get chest pain, go to the ER and they run a battery of necessary tests on your heart and tell you your heart is healthy, give you medication, and send you on your way? We hear this kind of story regularly in our practice and even receive referrals from medical doctors here in Spring Valley Las Vegas for chest pain not related to the heart. 

The Problem

Your 24 ribs move every time you breathe, around 23,000 times per day. When there’s a fault in how they move they can cause intense pain that permeates your back. Or, as in the story above, they can cause chest pain along your sternum. 

The Solution

A few adjustments restoring motion to these joints can be all someone needs to get rid of mysterious chest pain. Because immobilized ribs are tender, the adjustment is gentle. We use either a drop table or an activator to perform the adjustment with minimal force, and have had great success in freeing patients from debilitating chest pain.

If you’ve had this chest pain along your sternum that you’ve confirmed isn’t from your heart, see your chiropractor to get your ribs checked and we can also do a physical exam and refer you to a cardiologist if needed.

If you haven’t had this kind of pain, try these stretches daily for a week to loosen up your ribs and enjoy how much more freely you can breathe.
