Suggest Treatment For Dislocated Rib
After explaining the pain in my side near my ribs, my PCP said I could have a dislocated rib. She gave me the name of a chiropractor. Unfortunately, he has moved to another city. Is there another type of doctor I could see. I checked with Jewett Orthopaedic in town and was told they don t do ribs.

Hello,
First you have to take X-ray and CT chest to confirm rib dislocation. Anterior or posterior. Better consult a thoracic surgeon to confirm slip ribs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
