Noticing numbness or tingling running from your shoulder down into your arm or hand? ποΈβ‘
You may be dealing with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) β a condition where nerves or blood vessels between your collarbone and first rib become compressed.
When that space tightens, you might experience:
β¨ Pins-and-needles sensations
𦴠Arm weakness or fatigue
βοΈ Cold hands or fingers
π§ Swelling or color changes
β often triggered by reaching overhead or certain sleeping positions.
What can contribute to TOS?
πͺ Slouched or forward-head posture
π Heavy bags or backpacks
ποΈ Repetitive overhead movements
π» Long hours at a desk
π€ Past neck or shoulder injuries
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper alignment and relieving pressure, which may include:
βοΈ Improving neck, shoulder, and rib mechanics
βοΈ Loosening tight chest and neck muscles
βοΈ Strengthening postural support muscles
βοΈ Guided stretching and nerve mobilization exercises
These steps help open up the thoracic outlet and support healthier nerve function.
π‘ If your arm feels numb, heavy, or βasleepβ during activity or rest, donβt wait.
