Rib & Chest Pain & Instability- Prolotherapy and PRP for slipping rib and costochondritis

Danielle Matias, PA-C and Ross Hauser, MD discuss when Prolotherapy and PRP are used for cases of rib and chest pain. In our practice, we see cases of slipping rib syndrome, costochondritis, Tietze syndrome, and thoracic pain. In many of these instances, the ligaments are too loose or stretched out which causes them to fail to keep the rib or sternum stable which causes a lot of pain and irritate the intercostal nerves. The goal of prolotherapy treatment is to achieve stabilization of the connective tissue along the front and back of the rib attachments.
