Understanding Your Injury
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.

Common Questions
Dynamic Physical Therapy's Glendale clinic is about 110 miles from Rancho Penasquitos. We treat accident-related rib & chest wall pain with physical therapy and acupuncture, accept personal injury liens with no upfront cost, and offer same-day evaluations. You can call (818) 240-7511, email the clinic, or book online.
Seek emergency care for chest pain, trouble breathing, coughing blood, or lightheadedness. Milder rib soreness is common, but a fracture or other injury should be ruled out by a physician before starting therapy.
Many rib contusions and muscle strains improve over several weeks, while fractures usually need around six weeks. Guided breathing and mobility work helps prevent stiffness and complications during that time.
No. California allows direct access to physical therapy for up to 45 days without a physician referral, and acupuncture does not require a referral either. We coordinate with your doctor and personal injury attorney throughout your care.
