Midland, Odessa Thoracic Outlet Issues After an Auto Injury

We treat many auto injury cases in in our Midland, Odessa office, and a widespread symptom we see in our patients is thoracic outlet syndrome. Let's look at why thoracic outlet syndrome is frequently experienced after an auto collision and see how your chiropractor can help you recover.

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 travel under and through the strong bands of muscles that support your head.

In a crash, these muscles can be stretched and strained. If injured, the muscles become inflamed and tender, and they can develop scar tissue which limits motion and puts stress on the tissues of the thoracic outlet. Pressure on the nerves can cause tingling or numbness in the shoulder, elbow and even the hand. Pressure on the blood vessels can also cause problems in the arm.
