Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, often referred to as TOS, is a condition caused by the compression of nerves or blood vessels between the collarbone and the first rib. This compression can result in pain, numbness, and weakness in the shoulders, neck, and arms. Because symptoms often overlap with other conditions, TOS can be notoriously difficult to diagnose without specialized imaging and expert evaluation.

Recognizing Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Symptoms

 

Identifying TOS symptoms early is crucial to managing the condition effectively. Common indicators include arm or hand numbness, shoulder pain, swelling, or discoloration of the fingers, especially when lifting the arms. Unfortunately, many patients are misdiagnosed or undergo unnecessary treatments before discovering the real source of their discomfort. This is why specialized imaging and expert evaluation are critical steps in the diagnostic process.

 

Personalized Treatment and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Exercises

 

Each case of TOS is unique, which is why personalized treatment plans are essential. Depending on the type and severity of the condition, treatment may include physical therapy, specialized exercises to improve posture and nerve mobility, or in some cases, surgical intervention. Vanguard Specialty Imaging works in collaboration with leading specialists who can provide tailored treatment strategies, including thoracic outlet syndrome exercises designed to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence.
