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.

Cervical Disc Bulge & Radiculopathy

The neck (cervical spine) is an important part of our anatomy. Not only gives us a large range of movement for our neck, but it provides protection for the blood supply to our brain and the nerves that drive our arms.

Compression or irritation of the nerves can lead to a Radiculopathy which is of neurological signs, typically found down the arm.

This blog is all about your nerve roots, the discs and all the bits and bobs between!
