Most will just take your money, if not just make the snake worse than it already is. I have had W/C snakes with broken ribs before, and they heal up fine usually, they just look a bit flat in that area.

I wouldn't worry about it at all, and just let nature heal it up as it has done for countless millenia.

In the near future when you really have to move or hold it, just make sure you don't apply undue pressure to that area until it can heal successfully.
