- Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) can be debilitating for some people, and many of those people may be recommended for surgery. However, surgery isn't the only option available for patients suffering from TOS, and resolution of the symptoms can be achieved without surgery.

@DrewTimmermansND I have neurogenic TOS since 4 months, I tried physical therapy, ostheopathy, acupuncture, fascia release on the scalene and pec muscles, still have it. Symptoms are bit better but its not going away. I have an appointment with a physiatrist for injection in 3 weeks. Any advice for me ? My neck and trap pain is intense, my hands are only numb when stretching my arms
Come see me in Arizona and we can help you with our nerve hydrodissection approaches with platelet rich plasma. You can find my clinic here - regenerativeperformance.com
Great info! Thank you!
My pleasure
I have had this after a nursing injury and I have been told I have both areas of compression. I refused surgery and been debilitated for years.
Could cervical kyphosis between C4-C5 which has caused me neck pain and migraines for over 10 years have caused vTOS flare up? Is there a connection there? Seems like I reacted to Wright's test.
Would love to see an anatomy video on this.
I have had VTOS for 5 years and yet to find a long term solution. Sounds like chronic neurologic inflammation coukd be my issue and would love more information on the injections you suggestion for that
I have many videos on nerve hydrodissection if you search my channel!
What about someone with venous involvement that has caused POTs and autonmic dysfunction. Seems surgery is now my only hope as its been a spiral downhill over 10yrs . Venous duplex US showed VTOS so hoping surgery cures autonomic dysfunction and severe hesd neck chest and arm pain.
Where you located? Who is the person to provide me with the therapy you describe? I’m already getting the deep tissue work done but need help with the hypertonicity that keeps coming back
I'm located in gilbert arizona. The nerve hydrodissection would need to be performed by a physician who is specifically trained in those, which depends on the state you're in. We do these on a regular basis here in AZ
