CLINICAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
よくある臨床の質問: 肋骨・胸郭機能不全
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.
