Understanding the Condition
The ribs, the cartilage joining them to the breastbone, and the muscles between them absorb force from seatbelts, airbags, and the steering wheel. This can bruise or strain the intercostal muscles, sprain the rib joints, or fracture a rib. Pain tends to be worse with deep breathing, coughing, twisting, or reaching. Chest pain, shortness of breath, or pain with a racing heart after an accident needs emergency evaluation first. After serious injury is ruled out, physical therapy helps restore comfortable breathing mechanics and mobility.
