Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: When Nerves Are Compressed
Thoracic outlet syndrome occurs when nerves or blood vessels in the thoracic region are compressed, often due to poor posture or repetitive arm movements. Patients may experience pain, numbness, or tingling in the neck, shoulders, or arms.
Treatment focuses on relieving compression through posture correction, stretching, and chiropractic care. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential to prevent long-term complications.
