Chest Pain? Naturally, your mind races to the worst-case scenarios — heart trouble, a panic attack, or something serious. But what if the culprit is something much simpler (and treatable) called Costochondritis?
This inflammation of the cartilage that connects your ribs to your breastbone can feel sharp, aching, or downright scary. The good news? It’s not heart-related, and at Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we help people just like you find fast, lasting relief without endless pills or generic advice.
Costochondritis is inflammation of the cartilage where the ribs meet the sternum (the breastbone). It’s surprisingly common and can mimic the symptoms of heart-related chest pain, which is why it often causes unnecessary worry.
Common signs include:
It’s not life-threatening, but it can feel intense, and it can linger if not treated properly.

While it often resolves on its own, many patients experience recurring flare-ups or long-term discomfort, especially if the root cause isn’t addressed.
At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we don’t just treat the symptoms. We identify what’s aggravating your rib joints and help your body recover properly with a tailored approach that includes both chiropractic care and physiotherapy.
