Best Physiotherapy Clinic For Rib Fracture
✅ What is a Rib Fracture?
A rib fracture is a break or crack in one or more of the ribs, which are the curved bones in your chest that protect your lungs and heart. This injury is usually caused by trauma, like a fall, accident, or direct blow to the chest.
⚠️ Causes of Rib Fracture:
1. Trauma/Injury:
Car or bike accidents
Falls from height
Physical fights or sports injuries
2. Severe Coughing:
In people with weak bones (like in osteoporosis)
3. Repetitive Motions:
Such as rowing, swinging (in athletes)
😣 Symptoms:
Sharp or stabbing pain in the chest, especially with:
Deep breathing
Coughing or sneezing
Laughing or moving
Tenderness over the rib area
Bruising or swelling
Shortness of breath
Pain when lying on the injured side
Treatment:
Usually no surgery needed — ribs heal on their own in 4–6 weeks
Painkillers to reduce pain
Rest and avoid heavy lifting or sports
Deep breathing exercises to prevent lung infection (like pneumonia)
