Medical Conditions - Subluxation Chest Pain

Injury to the chest at times leads to misalignment of rib bones known as subluxated ribs. During subluxation, these ribs get disconnected and lead to chest pain. The pain can either be sharp and stabbing or dull in nature. It can be right-sided or left-sided chest pain. If the subluxated ribs impinge or compress any surrounding nerve, it can also cause numb feeling in that region and tingling sensation.
