Often a forgotten or neglected region, the trunk and ribs are commonly the source or cause of much pain. It can be a reason why neck pain continues to reoccur, why shoulder injuries are recalcitrant and a reason for referred pain into the arms and sometimes even into the legs. Let us help you find your pain and discover the path to recovery.
