CLINICAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Questions Fréquentes: Dysfonction Costale

Q Why does my back hurt when I take a deep breath?

Every breath requires your ribs to rotate and elevate at the costovertebral joints along the thoracic spine. If a rib head is restricted or inflamed, deep inhalation stresses the facet and causes a sharp catch.

Q How do I know if rib pain is muscular or an emergency?

If upper back or chest pain is accompanied by shortness of breath, pressure radiating to the jaw/left arm, lightheadedness, or sudden sweating, seek emergency medical attention immediately to rule out cardiac/pulmonary issues.
