How do you fix a dislocated rib head?

In: Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Symptoms [Edit categories]

Answer:

- I was diagnosed with Costochondritus for 5 years, my doctor just brushed my complaints of chest pain off.. "oh, chest pain is normal.. it will go away on its own." It never did. So i finally switched doctors, and I learned that a few of my rib heads become easily dislocated, and I have whats called slipping rib syndrome. My question is, does anyone know of a way that I could put my dislocated rib back in place, without having to go back to the doctor or physical therapist? This happens to me about 1-2 times a month and I absolutely dread the doctor, not to mention its getting expensive. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
