If you are suffering from thoracic outlet syndrome after an auto collision, don't worry. Dr. Forsyth sees this type of condition very often in our Las Vegas office. Let's look at why thoracic outlet syndrome is frequently experienced after an auto injury and see how your chiropractor can help you heal.
The thoracic outlet is a bundle of nerves and blood vessels that travel through your neck and shoulder to your arm. These nerves and blood 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 collision, these muscles can be stretched and strained. If damaged, the muscles become swollen and sore, and they can develop scar tissue which limits motion and puts pressure on the tissues of the thoracic outlet. Pressure on the nerves can cause tingling or numbness in the shoulder, elbow and even the wrist. Pressure on the blood vessels can also cause problems in the arm.
Chiropractic adjustments can be an effective way to treat thoracic outlet syndrome, as Dr. Forsyth will help improve mobility in your spine and restore normal nerve movement in your neck and shoulder.
Let us help you recover from thoracic outlet syndrome. Dr. Forsyth has helped many people with the same problem, and we can probably help you, too.
