Arlington Thoracic Outlet Syndrome After a Car Accident
We treat many car accident cases in in our Arlington office, and a common symptom we see in our patients is thoracic outlet syndrome. Why is thoracic outlet syndrome such a common condition after an auto collision? How can chiropractic care help you recover?
The thoracic outlet is a bundle of nerves and blood vessels that travel through your neck and shoulder to your arm. These vessels don't have a lot of room, so they travel underneath and between the strong bands of muscles that support your head.
In a crash, these muscles can be stretched and strained. If damaged, the muscles become swollen and tender, and they can develop scar tissue which limits movement and puts stress on the tissues of the thoracic outlet. Pressure on the nerves can cause tingling or pins and needles in the shoulder, elbow and even the hand. Pressure on the blood vessels can also cause problems in the arm.
