Dr. Price spent today out of the clinic to travel down to Indianapolis to assess and treat patients with one of the top vascular surgeons in the country, Dr. Sheng. Both doctors agree thoracic outlet syndrome is one of the most misdiagnosed orthopedic conditions in the country.
TOS causes pain and excessive tightness in the shoulders and neck. Left unchecked it can also lead to migraines, headaches, POTS, numbness, weakness, and coldness in the fingers. It is often misdiagnosed as carpal or cubital tunnel syndrome, cervical degenerative disc disease, cervical disc herniation, or a SLAP tear in the shoulder.
Currently there is not a great way to treat the condition when the vascular structures coming out of the neck get compressed. The PT treatments outlined in text books simply do not work and are in desperate need for updating.
Today we are one step closer to finding a solution for the millions of people who suffer on a daily basis. In the meantime, the first step is awareness!
