Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and Auto Injury and How Chiropractic Treatment can Help You

Roselle Thoracic Outlet Syndrome After a Car Accident

If you suffer from thoracic outlet syndrome after a car crash, you're not alone. Dr. Ahmed sees this type of condition very often in our Roselle office. Why is thoracic outlet syndrome such a common condition after an auto injury? How can your chiropractor help you heal?

The thoracic outlet is a bundle of blood vessels and nerves that travel through your neck and shoulder to your arm. These vessels don't have a lot of space, so they pass under 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 inflamed and tender, and they can develop scar tissue which restricts motion and puts stress 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.
