Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is a common symptom after a car crash, and it's something that Dr. Mark Holland sees often in our North County St. Louis, MO office. Why is thoracic outlet syndrome such a common problem after an auto collision? How can chiropractic care help you get better?
The thoracic outlet is a bundle of blood vessels and nerves that travel through your neck and shoulder to your arm. These nerves and blood vessels don't have a lot of room, so they pass under and between the strong bands of muscles that support your head.
In a collision, these muscle groups can be stretched and strained. If damaged, the muscles become swollen and sore, 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 numbness in the shoulder, elbow and even the hand. Pressure on the blood vessels can also cause problems in the arm.
