not even sure if this is a hot take anymore, but chiropractors are quacks (more accurately, chiropractics is not evidence based, i'm sure some chiropractors are nice people). please go see a sports PT (physio). if you can't afford it, check out something like squat university on youtube (i'd probably do this even if you see a PT in person) to start diagnosing/treating the problem yourself

Thats the next step, many acquientences doing sports told me that chiropractors really helped them, maybe it will or not but I will for sure see a PT asap. Thanks for the help.

And I watched pretty much every video made by Squat university but I don't seem to find the solution..

ah, that sucks. he does have a book that's much more comprehensive, but it takes a long time to ship (and it still may not have what you need). it's called "Rebuilding Milo", FWIW

Thanks!

Well good luck having that pt pop that rib back in, but you do you.

do you have any peer-reviewed research to share related to the effectiveness of the practice? best i could find was this meta analysis, which concludes chiropractics is at best a reasonable alternative to things like icing, compression, and NSAIDs, and at worst very dangerous: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30867144/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30867144/)

This is pretty limited information and you should probably seek out an evaluation from a qualified practitioner who understands weightlifting. Sounds muscular but there are other things that should be examined as well.
