Question
I was in a car accident a few years back and my ribs were popped out, since then they keep doing that every now and then for no apparent reason. Is there something I can do to stop this from happening.
Gloria,
Rib subluxations can be quite painful. They may be due to ligament or cartilage damage. The only method of correcting a subluxated rib which which I am familiar is manual manipulation. I recommend seeing a chiropractor for further evaluation.
