Please Suggest A Remedy For Injured Ribs And Back
Hello, As you had a fall. An x-ray of the chest is suggested. Any direct fall over the rib cage may lead to hair line fracture and takes some time to heal. In the mean time taping technique is used for allowing the healing process and less movement in the rib. Also doing simple breathing exercises will help improve muscle strength and reduce pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
