💥 Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS): Understanding Vascular TOS 💥

👉 What is Vascular Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (VTO)?
VTO occurs when blood vessels, such as the subclavian artery or vein, are compressed in the thoracic outlet—a small space between the collarbone and first rib. This compression disrupts blood flow, leading to vascular symptoms that impact arm and hand function.

🔍 Causes of VTO

• Anatomical Variations: Extra ribs or abnormal muscle structures.

• Trauma: Shoulder injuries or clavicle fractures.

• Repetitive Movements: Overhead activities common in sports or certain professions.

• Posture Issues: Forward head posture or rounded shoulders.

🧠 Common Symptoms

• Arm pain, swelling, or numbness, especially in the fingers and hands.

• A sensation of coldness or heaviness in the affected arm.

• Color changes: Blue or purple discoloration in severe cases.

• Symptoms worsen with overhead movement or lifting.

✅ Why Does Anatomy Matter?
The thoracic outlet is a critical region where nerves, arteries, and veins pass through. Understanding this anatomy is vital for effective diagnosis and treatment.

🚑 Treatment Options

• Physical Therapy: Focus on posture correction and mobility.

• Lifestyle Adjustments: Modify repetitive movements.

• Surgical Intervention: For severe, unresponsive cases to restore blood flow.

8 acupressure points to treat body pains & ache

The theory behind acupressure is that these points, known as acupoints, are located along energy channels or meridians in the body.

By applying pressure to these points, it is believed that the flow of energy or Qi (pronounced "chee") can be manipulated to help promote healing and balance within the body.
