MONTHLY ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY LESSON BROUGHT TO YOU BY DR. NEGIN JALAYER
Your 1st Rib connects to your T1 vertebrae in the back and the top of your breast bone in the front. It is located directly behind and just below your collar bone. Above it sits major blood vessels (called the subclavian artery and vein) THE 1ST RIB:
and a bundle of nerves that run form your neck and into your arm. An abnormal position of your 1st rib can easily put increased pressure on those nerves and cause a number of issues in your neck, shoulder, arm, and hand. The Three Common Problems caused by an elevated 1st Rib include: 1. Numbness and tingling into your arm and hand 2. Shoulder pain and difficulty reaching up and behind your back 3. Swelling of your fingers/hand These problems sound quite bad and debilitating, but the good news is...the treatment for it called a 1st Rib Mobilization gives instant relief. If you have any of these symptoms- then your 1st Rib could be the culprit! Let us examine your 1st Rib and see if you would benefit from a 1st Rib Mobilization.
“Before physical therapy I was suffering from vertigo. My time at Marathon Physical Therapy was excellent. I felt like I was listened to and my symptoms were treated exceptionally. I wasn’t just another person revolving through the door that was given a cookie cutter treatment plan. I am now symptom free!” -Lynn C. “I Am Now Symptom Free.”
