Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS): Symptoms, Types & Treatment Options | PNS Ep 3

​Are you struggling with unexplained neck, shoulder, or arm pain, accompanied by frustrating tingling or numbness? You might be dealing with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). This condition occurs when the narrow passageway between your collarbone and first rib becomes an anatomical bottleneck, compressing vital nerves and blood vessels. ​In this video, we break down the three types of TOS, how to distinguish between nerve and vascular compression, and the best evidence-based treatment strategies to get you back to a pain-free life. ​What you will learn in this video: ​The Three Types of TOS: A simple breakdown of Neurogenic TOS (brachial plexus nerves), Venous TOS (subclavian vein), and Arterial TOS (subclavian artery). ​Recognizing the Symptoms: How to identify nerve-related symptoms (pain, tingling, numbness) versus vascular symptoms (swelling, arm discoloration, cold limbs). ​Clinical Treatment Pathways: When physical therapy is the first line of defense versus when surgical intervention is required to decompress the thoracic outlet. ​Actionable Ergonomics: Everyday tips to prevent symptom flare-ups, including posture correction, managing heavy shoulder bags, and modifying repetitive overhead movements. ​🔔 Subscribe to our channel for more expert-led breakdowns of orthopedic conditions, neurological health, and evidence-based physiotherapy. ​💬 Join the Conversation: Have you been diagnosed with TOS or experienced shoulder and neck pain that won't go away?
