[|AI|]  Hello, Being a Physiotherapist I should always recommend to anyone as an exercise only for the betterment. But in certain cases, I should admit that cervical rib needs to be surgically removed as this extra rib leads to compression on the underlying nerves and blood vessels leading to disturbance in the overall physical well-being and perform regular activities. If not removed at an early stage then in later stages things might not be the same as now and lead to unnecessary symptoms. Post-surgical removal of the cervical rib always a Physiotherapy will be helpful to achieve the maximum functions of the limb. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
