In brief: Time. Becareful of the term dislocates ribs. The small rib joints (where they attach) can get sprained but rarely completely dislocate. Either way, they will take their time to heal. Occasionally therapy may be helpful for any soft tissue massages.
A blow to the rib cage can cause either a fracture or bruising to the membrane that covers the bone (periosteum). Both can be very painful, and it is very often hard to distinguish the difference, even with a X-ray.
