Thoracic Outlet Syndrome WHAT IS IT? Thoracic outlet syndrome is a repetitive stress disorder that involves the shoulder and upper arm. WHAT CAUSES IT? The thoracic outlet is a triangular area through which nerves and blood vessels pass from the neck to the arm. The area is bordered by the collar bone, the first rib, and the anterior and middle scalene muscles. Thoracic outlet syndrome occurs when the nerves and blood vessels between the neck and shoulder are compressed. Activities such as pulling your shoulders back and down (an exaggerated military stance), sleeping with your arms above your head, carrying items such as a stretcher, backpack, or suitcase or work that requires frequent overhead lifting may increase the risk of this syndrome. SYMPTOMS: Symptoms are similar to carpal tunnel syndrome - numbness in the fingers and hand, tingling in the arm as if it is "asleep", and pain that begins in the base of the neck and radiates into the arm or hand.

A Patient's Guide to Cumulative Trauma Disorders THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME Introduction Anatomy Causes Symptoms ... Treatment Introduction Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a condition affecting the shoulder, arm, and hand. This condition is a very frustrating problem - both for the patient and for the physician. It is extremely difficult to prove that the diagnosis of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is correct, because there is no test that has a high degree of accuracy in showing the problem. Usually, the diagnosis is made after all other causes of the symptoms have been ruled out - a frustrating and slow process sometimes! Anatomy The nerves and blood vessels that run into the arm and hand start at the side of the neck. They exit from the side of the spine through small openings between each vertebra called foramen . As they leave the spine the nerves are referred to as nerve roots . The individual spinal nerve roots then begin to join together to form the nerves that will run into the arm and hand. The nerves travel between two muscles in the neck (the scalene muscles), over the top of the rib cage, under the collar bone (clavicle), through the arm pit (axilla) and down the arm to the hand. The area where the nerves and vessels leave the neck between the two scalene muscles and over the first rib is know as the Thoracic Outlet. Causes There are probably several causes of TOS. The common underlying cause of the syndrome is compression of the nerves and arteries of the arm in the

A 21 year old woman had suffered with pain in the neck, scapular region and chest, with brachialgia and with paraesthesia of the left hand, for three and a half years. She had been treated without any lasting relief with a variety of modalities, including NSAIDs, opiods, physiotherapy, short wave diathermy, ultrasound and nerve block therapy. She was treated daily with electroacupuncture to points ST38, LI4, LI11, LI15, and TE14, for 10 days, with some improvement. She was then given three further week-long courses, at fortnightly intervals.

Useful Links Both are usually caused by repetitive movement and incorrect positioning of the head, neck, shoulder, arm and hand. Some good examples are: Holding the phone to shoulder w/ head. Holding a violin to your shoulder with head. The symptoms are: Pain around clavicle (collar bone between shoulder and neck) Sometimes pain with movement of shoulder or head Headaches Sometimes pain radiates from neck or shoulder all the way down the arm and maybe fingers Usually, the connective tissue has shortened, thickened around a bundle of nerves (bracio-plexis) as a result of repetitive movement. The conventional treatment is surgery on the connective tissue that is pinching or entrapping a nerve. Usually, it is surgically cut. Rolfing can stretch the connective tissue and free the nerve that is pinched. The result is no more pain.

During the last four years, 555 upper extremities of 494 patients were diagnosed as having thoracic outlet syndrome. Forty-five patients (9.3%) were diagnosed as having other entrapment neuropathy in one extremity. Ten cases were complicated by cervical radiculopathy, 15 by carpal tunnel syndrome, 11 by cubital tunnel syndrome, five by radial tunnel syndrome, two by ulnar tunnel syndrome, two by both carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome, and one by both cubital and ulnar tunnel syndrome. Surgery was performed for 15 limbs, and the distal lesion was operated on the first in two­thirds of these patients.
