The first line of method to treat<unk>  is conservative measures. Usually individuals will be advised to reduce their physical activity or movements that exacerbate their symptoms. Individuals will be suggested to use ice packs, heat packs, analgesic medications or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to manage the pain. Other conservative therapeutic measures such as physiotherapy, ultrasound therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), or cryotherapy may be used. In some cases intermittent relief is reported from chiropractic manipulations and electric stimulation. If conservative measures do not provide relief, intercostal or costovertebral nerve blocks may be used. Repeated injections may be necessary as these injections may not provide long-term relief. Surgical management is a permanent solution for cases in which do not resolve with repeated nerve blocks. Surgical excision or resection of the affected<unk>  provides immediate relief of symptoms without recurrence.
