Why do I keep getting spasms under my right ribs, and how can I prevent them?

Muscle spasms under the ribs can be uncomfortable. One reason for these spasms might be related to how your rib cage helps keep your spine steady. If your rib cage or spine isn't strong enough, it could lead to spasms.

How the Rib Cage Works

• The rib cage is important for keeping your spine in place.
• If the rib cage is not stable, it might cause muscle spasms.

What You Can Do

• Try exercises that make your back and ribs stronger.
• Keeping good posture might also help.

If you keep having these spasms, it's a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider. They can help figure out what's going on and how to make it better.
