Suggest Treatments For Protrusion Of Rib Cage

My left side under ribcage is irritating me, more pointy than other and I guess is slipped out. I have been to chiro and no luck, to dr and labs came back fine. It s isn t really painful, just annoying when I sit and lay a certain way.... How can I get it to be how it used to be...? Thx!

prominence of rib cage could be due to scoliosis, which is bending of the spine, you need to consult an orthopaedic doctor and get yourself screened, and then only can you be treated.
