It is possible that your chest pain is caused from a muscular issue, or ribs being out of alignment. If these are the causes of your pain, then a Chiropractor can treat them.

If you are having chest pain, you should definitely get a checkup with your family doctor or urgent care and make sure there aren't any serious issues such as cardiovascular or respiratory issues. After those have been ruled out, the next step is to find out if the pain is coming from esophageal, gastric or musculoskeletal origins. An appointment with a chiropractic physician should help to determine the actual cause and the proper treatment plan.
I hope this info is helpful.

Take care and be well,

If you have a spinal pinched nerve the pain can radiate to the chest. Similarly, if you have a subluxated rib the pain can be in the chest.
As a 53 year old male you should have your heart checked for any abnormality. If all is clear have your pain be checked by a chiropractor.
