- Abstract
First rib subluxation is one possible cause of neck, shoulder, and arm pain. The anatomy and biomechanics of the first rib contribute to its tendency to sublux superiorly. Management of first rib subluxation may include manipulative therapy, therapeutic exercises, pharmaceutical agents, and physical modalities to correct joint dysfunction, decrease soft tissue tension, and prevent recurrence.
