Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is a common condition after a car crash, and it's something that TJ Delorie sees frequently in our Olympia office. Let's take a look at why thoracic outlet syndrome is commonly experienced after an auto injury and see how chiropractic care can help you heal.
The thoracic outlet is a bundle of blood vessels and nerves that pass through your neck and shoulder to your arm. These nerves and blood vessels don't have a lot of space, so they pass underneath and through the strong bands of muscles that support your head.
In a collision, these muscle groups can be stretched and strained. If injured, the muscles become inflamed and sore, and they can develop scar tissue which restricts movement and puts stress on the tissues of the thoracic outlet. Pressure on the nerves can cause tingling or pins and needles in the shoulder, elbow and even the wrist. Pressure on the blood vessels can also cause problems in the arm.
