Follow this link to our google drive folder containing documents and studies from medical professionals relating to the diagnosis and treatment of slipping rib syndrome. If you think you have SRS you may find it helpful to print these to take to your doctor to aid you in getting a referral to a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
