🚨 Numbness, tingling, pain, weakness, or heaviness in your arms and hands? It could be Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)!
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome happens when the nerves or blood vessels between your neck and shoulder become compressed. This can lead to:
• Tingling or numbness in the arms/hands
• Weakness or fatigue in the arms
• Neck, shoulder, or upper back pain
• Headaches
• Coldness or swelling in the arm/hand
Common causes can include:
✔ Poor posture
✔ Repetitive movements
✔ Desk jobs & phone use
✔ Stress and muscle tension
✔ Injuries or whiplash
✔ Tight muscles in the neck, chest, and shoulders
✨ Chiropractic care and massage therapy can help by:
• Improving posture and alignment
• Reducing tension in tight muscles
• Increasing mobility and circulation
• Relieving pressure on nerves
• Helping restore proper function and movement
The photo below shows a great example of improved range of motion after adjustments! 🙌
If you’ve been dealing with arm pain, numbness, or tightness, don’t ignore it — your body may be trying to tell you something. Stop in and let’s see if we can help! 💙
