Rib Dysfunction

Have you ever felt a sharp sensation around your shoulder blade or mid-back during certain twisting, lifting and abrupt movements? Chances are you may be experiencing dysfunction around your rib joint/s. Read on to find out more…

 

What is rib dysfunction?

Rib dysfunction occurs when there is a misalignment of a rib/s on the thorax. This results in mechanical dysfunction, restriction, dislodgement or inflammation between your ribs and their attachment sites. Due to the anatomy of a rib joint, dysfunction of this area can cause immense, debilitating pain.

Anatomy

The thoracic (mid-back) region typically has 12 vertebrae and 24 ribs. These vertebrae connect and articulate with ribs via the costovertebral and costotransverse joints which are held together by ligaments. These joints have a blood and nerve supply which subjects them to a great deal of inflammation and pain when irritated.

Causes

Rib dysfunction is caused by a variety of contributing factors. These include:

  • Recent trauma
  • Recent illness that generates constant coughing motion
  • Prolonged, poor posture
  • Awkward sleeping patterns
  • Weak back muscles
  • Repetitive stress
  • Stationary desk work

What does rib dysfunction feel like?

Typically patients will describe a deep, dull ache around between the spine and shoulder blade. This pain will fluctuate or become sharp with activities such as coughing, sneezing, twisting, lifting or bending. At times symptoms may refer into the arm or neck, with tenderness reported around the front of one’s chest bone.

Symptoms

  • Diffuse, deep, dull ache
  • Sharp, severe pain with laughing, coughing & sneezing
  • Abdominal and/or chest pain
  • Feelings of ‘clicking’ or ‘popping’
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Unexplained back pain
  • Postural imbalance

 

Treatment

Here at Dr7 Physiotherapy and Podiatry Yokine all of our practitioners have the expertise to correctly diagnosis, treat and manage symptoms associated with rib dysfunction. Most presentations will require a rib joint manipulation and soft tissue release around the site of injury. Some cases are resolved immediately with others requiring multiple treatments/adjustments to completely alleviate symptoms

Once the acute, sharp pain has been resolved our practitioners at Dr7 Physiotherapy Tuart Hill will undertake a biomechanical assessment and provide exercises and/or strategies to prevent further aggravation. It is important to correct the underlying structural abnormality to prevent frequent and chronic rib shifts.

 

When to consult with a Medical practitioner

If you are concerned about your chest / rib pain it is very important to seek medical advice from your healthcare provider or emergency department. Some examples are:

  • Patients with fever or a severe cough
  • Left-sided chest pain radiating into the jaw and left arm
  • Extreme difficulty breathing

 

Prevention

  1. Avoid awkward, sustained postures such as hunching and prolonged reaching as a desk
  2. Avoid lifting to holding objects with outstretched arms
  3. Review with a Physiotherapist at Dr7 to assess and correct structural abnormalities
  4. Strengthen the muscles that attach to and control the rib cage

Why do I have elbow pain?

The most common cause of elbow pain is due to repetitive use of your forearm muscles, it is called Tennis Elbow or Epicondylitis. Other causes of elbow pain can be ligament sprains, bone bruising or inflammation of a bursa (a sack of fluid) within the elbow joint. The cause of your elbow pain can be determined and effectively treated by your Dr7 Physiotherapist Yokine.

 

What is a Tennis Elbow?

There are muscles in your forearm that start at your elbow and attach to your wrist and fingers. When we use these muscles repetitively at work or during sport and exercise these muscles become tight and lose their elasticity. When this happens the muscles become inflamed at the bone of your elbow, where it originates from. If this condition is left for too long it will get progressively worse and can lead to sharp pains, nerve symptoms and a loss of strength in the hand.

 Anatomy of the elbow

Is it common?

Tennis Elbow is very common occurring within 1-3% of the population at all stages of life however it is most common from 30-50 years of age.

 

What causes Tennis Elbow?

Common activities that can result in Tennis Elbow now days are the use of mobile phones, ipads and computers. Due to postural positions often held while using these devices as well as the repetitive movements required. Other activities can be related to repetitive movements during sport such as gripping and swinging the racket in tennis.

 

How long does it take to get better?

The duration of your symptoms can vary and depend on several factors such as length of pain before physiotherapy treatment, if work or sport postural issues can be modified, the number of triggers present and your adherence to your exercise program. If your symptoms are mild-moderate you could have full resolution in 6-8 weeks however if your symptoms are severe it could take several months. After your initial assessment at Dr7 Physiotherapy Tuart Hill, your physiotherapist will be better able to give you a more accurate estimate.

 

How can Dr7 Physiotherapy help?

Your Dr7 Physiotherapist in Yokine will be able to provide you with some pain relieving techniques that will also regain the length and elasticity of the muscles in your forearm/s. We can teach you how to reduce your pain throughout the day but most importantly how to modify work postures and movement to resolve your pain and prevent reoccurrence. All our physiotherapists are trained in treatment techniques such a dry-needling (acupuncture), sports taping, lazer therapy and manual soft-tissue techniques. Call 9349 1777 for further information.

Shin Pain

Here at Dr7 Physiotherapy and Podiatry we treat a variety of different injuries ranging from acute strains to overuse injuries. With the weather improving people are starting to ramp up their exercise regime to shed a few kilos gained over the winter. While we definitely encourage people to participate in regular exercise, beginning a new program can put people at risk of developing pain. This is because the tissues of the body take time to adjust to an increase in load. Known as repetitive stress, it can be a trigger for developing pain. For some people it’s their knee, for some it’s their heel or their hip or their back. For others it’s shin pain. Many people have probably heard of the term shin splints, but what is it?

Shin Splints, or Tibial Stress Syndrome is a condition where excessive stress and pressure is applied to the outermost layer of the shin bone. This layer, called periosteum becomes sensitive, painful and inflamed during tibial stress syndrome and the individual will experience pain along the shin bone. The condition is usually related to an increase in running or walking. The pain can be on one side or both and is often described as a dull pain.

What causes Shin Splints?

Many muscles that control the movement of the ankle, foot and toes attach onto the periosteum. When we exercise these muscles pull on the periosteum and when we exercise at a level greater than what the tissue can cope with it becomes sensitive, painful and inflamed. There is usually a combination of factors and conditions that occur to trigger an onset of shin splints. There are many factors that can contribute to shin pain and our physiotherapists can help you identify what factors are relevant to each specific patient. Risk factors can be categorised into intrinsic and extrinsic groups:

  1. Intrinsic: Age, Gender, Weight, biomechanics of the hip, knee and ankle
  2. Extrinsic:
    1. Training load such as overloading or sudden change in load (eg. resumption of exercise post-illness or after a holiday)
    2. Type of exercise, change in training conditions such as running surface, footwear, inclines
    3. Type of exercise
    4. Weather conditions

How Dr7 Physiotherapy can help:

As there are other injuries that can cause a similar type of pain it is important to have an assessment from one of our physiotherapists. The physiotherapist will check for differential diagnoses such as stress fractures, compartment syndrome, muscle strains and nerve entrapments.

Once these have been ruled out they will diagnose you with Shin Splints and help identify factors contributing to your pain. Usually an assessment will involve a biomechanical observation, assessment of your hip and knee strength, assessment of muscle tightness and a balance assessmet.

Management of Shin Splints aims to relieve the pressure and stress placed on the periosteum. Dr7 Physiotherapists can provide treatment such as massage, soft tissue release, dry needling/acupuncture to manage any muscle tightness. The physiotherapist may also apply taping to your foot and ankle to improve the biomechanics of the foot and unload the shin. Your physiotherapist will also give advice regarding appropriate ways to modify your training and advise you in self-management techniques such as foam rolling, stretching and icing/heating. Finally the therapist will give you  exercises to improve strength and control at the foot, ankle, knee and hip.

How long will my pain last?

Unfortunately the best answer is: it depends. Your recovery time very much depends on how sensitised the shin bone is. If you have had shin pain for a long time it’s likely to take longer for the shin bone to become less sensitive. It is also very dependent on your activity level. If you continue to push through painful activity it will add continued stress to the shin bone and your condition will take much longer to settle. Your Dr7 Physiotherapist will be able to give you an indication of your prognosis once they have performed a clinical assessment.

Can Physiotherapy fix your headache?

Did you know that a physiotherapist can help you with assessing the cause of your headache? And in some cases, can even help manage it!

Headaches are a very common problem and can make it extremely difficult to concentrate, work, sleep or perform normal day to day activities.

There are many different causes of headache, some of which can be addressed by your Dr7 Physiotherapist Yokine. In fact, The International headache society (yes, it’s real) has a classification system that can help differentiate types of headaches and help guide management.  Examples include migraine, tension-type headache, cluster headaches and cervicogenic headaches.

What is a cervicogenic headache?

Cervicogenic headache is a headache caused by a non-traumatic disorder involving any structure in the neck, including bony, muscular and other soft tissue elements.

Typically cervicogenic headaches consist of pain in one side of the neck, head and face. Often pain will exist in the back of the head, temples and radiate to the face and eye. The headache can be acute, or it can be present for weeks or months. Symptoms can also include reduced range of movement of the neck as well as sensitivity around the base of the skull.

Is it common?

Data relating to the incidence of cervicogenic headache is mixed, with some studies showing that up to 20% of chronic headaches could be cervicogenic in nature.

What causes cervicogenic headache?

The exact cause of the headache is usually unknown, but it is likely that a combination of factors contribute to the onset of cervicogenic headache. Physical factors such as acute neck strains/sprains, repetitive strain, prolonged postures (such as sitting at work all day) have the potential to irritate the muscles and joints of the neck and trigger a headache. Non-physical factors such as stress, anxiety and diet are likely to contribute to the onset of cervicogenic headache and can prolong recovery.

How can Dr7 Physiotherapy help?

Your Dr7 Physiotherapist Joondana will assess your headache and identify contributing factors. They will also exclude any other causes for your pain.

At Dr7 Physiotherapy Balcatta we can treat the joints and muscles of the neck using manipulative therapy and myofascial tissue therapies such as massage and dry needling. We can also advise you on the best exercises and stretches to improve your pain and reduce your risk of re-injury.

How long does it take to get better?

The duration of your symptoms can vary and depend on several factors. In most cases you will feel a significant reduction in both headache and neck pain within a few treatments. Generally if you have had cervicogenic headache for a long time it will take longer to improve, whereas acute headaches will get better very quickly.

What Conditions Physiotherapy Treats, Prevents, or Manages

A physiotherapist is trained and licensed to diagnose physical abnormalities, promote physical activity and proper function, maintain physical function, and restore physical function and mobility.

Manual Release, Myofascial Release
Manual Release, Myofascial Release

 

This is why physiotherapy, similar to what Dr7 Physiotherapy and Podiatry offers, is beneficial for people of all ages, but most especially, for seniors in home care or aged care residences. With musculoskeletal functions going through changes as people age, any strategy that can help deal with such problems would be most welcome.

Conditions That Can Be Treated by Physiotherapy

Arthritis

This is a condition that can cause joint pain, stiffness, and heat. Physiotherapy can help manage symptoms and provide pain relief through exercise and other forms of therapy. There are exercise programmes that you can take advantage of.

Asthma

Physiotherapists can help asthma patients by showing them how to retrain breathing and to breathe in a more relaxed way. They can also recommend activity and exercises that can help manage asthma.

Back Pain

Managing back pain is among the speciality of physiotherapists and seeing one can mean speedy recovery and future prevention. Physiotherapy may involve manual treatments, exercise, acupuncture, and other ways to treat and prevent back pain.

Osteoporosis

Don’t wait for osteoporosis to lead to broken bones, especially when you are at an age where falls and fractures are common. Once diagnosed, you should see a physiotherapist right away, so he can recommend ways to prevent thinning of bones, strengthen bones and muscles, manage pain, and reduce falls.

Chronic Pain

Physiotherapy can help manage the condition and minimise its impact on a patient’s life. If you are suffering from chronic pain, reducing its intensity is a welcome relief. Physiotherapists can also provide massage, hands-on treatments, and other options to manage long-term pain.

Neck Pain

The kind of neck pain that physiotherapists treat is unlike the ordinary pain that you may sometimes experience. It is a musculoskeletal disorder that also includes repetitive strain injury and back pain. Apart from hands-on treatments, such as acupuncture and manual therapy, physiotherapy will also create exercise programmes and provide tips that meet your needs and provide pain relief.

Cardiovascular Disease

Heart attack, stroke, and angina are just some of the problems that seniors may face. One way to prevent these is to exercise and stay active, something physiotherapy can help with. But that’s not all. Physiotherapists also offer cardiac rehabilitation programmes that can improve your quality of life and health.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Pulmonary rehabilitation programmes are considered extremely effective in treating this particular condition, and a physiotherapist is one of the most important health professionals who make up the team that runs the programmes.

Falls and Fractures

What physiotherapist can do is to improve balance, help reduce the risk of falling, strengthen bones, and advise on activities that will maintain or improve your mobility.

Diabetes

What physiotherapists can offer diabetes patients are strategies to help manage lifestyle changes and ensure blood glucose levels are kept under control. These include a healthy diet, exercise regimen, and assessment for a foot splint in case a dropped foot is developed.

Cancer

Research shows that exercise can increase a cancer patient’s chances of survival or prevent some cancers from coming back. Physiotherapy can help keep patients active and find ways to treat side effects such as lymphoedema, osteoporosis, and tiredness.

Other conditions that physiotherapy can treat, prevent, and/or manage are high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease, incontinence, and multiple sclerosis.

The same health professionals will also provide recommendations for occupational health and rehabilitation programmes.

Needless to say, young and old alike can benefit from what physiotherapists can offer, whether they are affected by the conditions listed above or not. With the kind of preventative tips that they can provide, seeking their help will definitely work to your advantage.
