Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic outlet syndrome, commonly abbreviated to TOS, may very well be one of the most difficult and controversial diagnosis in clinical medicine.

The goal of this Blog is to breakdown this condition and to better understand what we as musculoskeletal type practitioners can do to provide the best care for patients presenting with possible symptoms of TOS. Whether that be assessing the condition, providing hands on or exercise based treatment or even knowing when best to refer on a patient that may need further investigation or even surgical intervention.
