Chiropractor/ back popping peoples?

Update:

I broke/cracked several ribs on my right side; the breaks are on my side not by the sternum or my spine. Could compression pops harm my ribs? They are healed now this was a while ago, but still I see as a valid question. Should I avoid popping my back through compression?

    Yes? Can I help you?

    You should not receive manual adjustments with broken ribs. There are techniques that can be used to adjust that do use the "hard pops" to adjust the spine.  Do not let anyone push on your thoracic spine with rib fractures
