Ribs can't be easily splinted or supported like other bones, so they're usually left to heal naturally. Broken and bruised ribs are generally treated in the same way, so it's not usually necessary to have an X-ray to determine what your exact injury is.roken (fractured) or bruised ribs are usually caused by a fall or blow to the chest, or occasionally by severe coughing.
