What if your sternum is high on one side and low on the other?

Conservative treatment, manipulative repositioning, or surgical treatment can be taken according to the situation. 1. Congenital developmental deformity: If the sternum is always high on one side and low on the other side, it may be caused by congenital developmental deformity. For those who do not have obvious symptoms, they can often carry out exercises such as expanding the chest, so as to improve the function of the chest. If it is accompanied by serious discomfort, such as chest tightness, panic and dyspnea and other visceral compression symptoms, you should actively seek medical treatment and surgical correction. 2.
