Chiropractors/rib pain

Question
Hello I do quite a lot of weight lifting and just for the past year , I have be getting a sharp pain under the right side of the floating rib, went to a phsio guy and he found a bit that click just where it hurts I feel it mostly when I do running 1st though it was a stich but is sharper.

Have you any idea what it may be ?

And if so do you think there is any treatment for it ?

Thanks


Answer
If an xray should reveal no fracture, what most likely is happening is that there is a misalignment at the head of the rib, leading to shifting and causing pain.  Realignment coupled with a rehab program to strengthen your spine would be the best route to take
