Alpharetta Thoracic Outlet Syndrome After a Car Accident
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is a common symptom after an auto collision, and it's something that Dr. Berklich sees frequently in our Alpharetta office. Let's look at why thoracic outlet syndrome is commonly experienced after a car crash and see how chiropractic can help you heal.
The thoracic outlet is a bundle of nerves and blood vessels 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 underneath and through the strong bands of muscles that support your head.
In a crash, these muscles can be stretched and strained. If damaged, the muscles become swollen and tender, and they can develop scar tissue which restricts motion and puts pressure 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.
