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 rib can just pop out of the sockets of the two joints if the body was forced to be positioned in a very awkward way or if the rib cage or chest area undergo trauma. A few of those traumas can be from a direct hit to the ribs, severe rib sprain, contact sport, a vehicle accident, or a fall.
