If your arms tingle, go numb, or feel weak—especially after working at a desk, driving, or lifting—you may be dealing with a condition known as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). While many brush off these symptoms as circulation issues or simple fatigue, they often stem from nerve compression, which can worsen over time if left untreated.
At Coast Chiropractic Centers, we take a targeted, non-invasive approach to correcting the root cause of this discomfort and restoring healthy nerve function through chiropractic care.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome occurs when the nerves or blood vessels between your collarbone and first rib (the thoracic outlet) become compressed. This space can tighten due to poor posture, muscle tightness, trauma, or repetitive motions—causing symptoms to appear in the neck, shoulders, arms, or hands.
Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
Weak grip or hand coordination issues
Coldness or discoloration in the arm
Aching pain in the shoulder or neck
Worsening symptoms with overhead activities or prolonged sitting
Poor posture or “tech neck”
Repetitive strain from lifting or typing
Previous injuries or trauma
Anatomical variations (e.g., extra cervical rib)
Muscle tightness or spasm (especially in the scalene or pectoral region)
At Coast Chiropractic Centers, we specialize in non-surgical treatments for conditions like TOS using a combination of manual techniques, advanced therapies, and individualized care plans.
1. Postural and Structural Corrections
We assess and correct misalignments in the cervical spine, thoracic spine, and shoulders to relieve pressure on the nerves and vessels within the thoracic outlet.
2. Soft Tissue Therapy
Techniques such as Graston therapy and trigger point release help loosen tight muscles that may be compressing nerves.
3. Class IV Diowave Laser Therapy
This powerful, drug-free treatment reduces inflammation and promotes nerve regeneration at a cellular level.
4. Functional Rehab
We provide strengthening and mobility exercises that correct posture, open up the thoracic outlet, and support long-term relief.
5. Ergonomic Guidance
TOS is often aggravated by repetitive movements and poor workstation setup. We’ll show you how to work smarter, not harder, for your body.
✔️ Natural, drug-free pain relief
✔️ Improved circulation and nerve flow
✔️ Restored arm function and grip strength
✔️ Better posture and reduced neck strain
✔️ Personalized, non-invasive care plans
