Rib Pain and Injuries
Rib pain can be intense, sharp and incredibly painful. The Body Doc has a number of ways to diagnose and treat rib pain that may help to reduce the severity of what you are experiencing.
The Body Doc’s system to help your Wrist and Hand pain symptoms includes;
Identifying the most likely cause or contributing factor (Fractured rib? Strained cartilage? Intercostal muscle strain?)
Using evidence based treatments to bring your pain to a manageable level
(osteopaths are trained in a broad range of techniques so you can have faith that we will have the right treatment techniques for you)
Teaching you how to identify triggers and learn pain relief strategies so you can take control of your own health.
Learn how to take control of your bodies strength, flexibility and functions so you can feel better, for longer
The Body Doc has a special interest in helping you overcome the barriers that rib pain can cause so you can keep doing what you need, want and love.
