What is Intercostal Neuralgia and How Does it Relate to Chiropractic?

Intercostal neuralgia is a condition that can cause severe and persistent pain in the chest area, seriously affecting the quality of life. But what exactly is intercostal neuralgia and how can chiropractic offer relief? In this article, we will explore this condition and its relationship to chiropractic in depth.

What is Intercostal Neuralgia?

Intercostal neuralgia refers to pain affecting the intercostal nerves, which are located between the ribs and run from the spine to the front of the chest. This pain can range from a burning or stabbing sensation to a deep, sharp ache, which can make breathing difficult and limit movement.

Symptoms of Intercostal Neuralgia

  1. Sharp or Burning Pain: It is felt along the path of the intercostal nerves, from the back to the chest.
  2. Sensation of Pressure or Strangulation: It may feel like a tight band around the chest.
  3. Hypersensitivity: Pain when touching or pressing the affected area.
  4. Difficulty Breathing: The pain may be intensified by deep breathing, coughing, or laughing.

Causes of Intercostal Neuralgia

Causes of intercostal neuralgia may include:

  1. Physical Injuries: Traumas such as rib fractures or spinal injuries.
  2. Infections: Viral infections such as shingles, which affects the nerves.
  3. Structural Problems: Herniated discs or spinal alignment problems.
  4. Surgeries: Surgical procedures that can damage the intercostal nerves.
  5. Pregnancy: The growth of the fetus can temporarily press and alter the intercostal nerves.
  6. Emotional conditions: Stress and anxiety can tighten the intercostal muscles, irritating the intercostal nerves.

How Can Chiropractic Help with Intercostal Neuralgia?

Correction of Subluxations

Chiropractic adjustments can be very effective in correcting vertebral subluxations that may be causing pressure on the intercostal nerves. By properly aligning the spine, pressure on the nerves can be relieved, which can reduce pain and improve overall function.

Muscle Tension Relief

Chiropractors can also help relieve muscle tension in the affected area, which is essential for reducing pain and improving mobility. Muscle tension can aggravate intercostal neuralgia, and by relieving this tension, significant relief can be achieved.

Improved Nervous Function

Chiropractic focuses on improving communication between the brain and the rest of the body through the nervous system. By ensuring the spine is properly aligned, chiropractors can help improve nerve function, which can be crucial to recovery.

Preventing Future Complications

In addition to offering relief, chiropractic can also help prevent future episodes of intercostal neuralgia. Chiropractors can offer advice on exercises and postures that help maintain a healthy spine and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Conclusion

Intercostal neuralgia is a painful condition that can have a significant impact on quality of life. Chiropractic offers a natural and effective option for the management of this condition, focusing on correcting misalignments, relieving muscle tension, and improving nerve function. If you are experiencing pain in the thoracic area that could be related to intercostal neuralgia, consider consulting a chiropractor to explore relief and prevention options.

No, it isn't. Chiropractic is a sanitary profession complementary to and different from medicine (according to WHO).

It is studied in specialized chiropractic universities. The chiropractic professional receives a minimum training of 5 years that guarantees the quality and safety of the service it offers.

During the chiropractic university career, you don't study surgery or pharmacy but deeper physiology, anatomy, radiology, neurology, and specific manual chiropractic techniques.
