Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and Car Accidents and How Chiropractic Treatment can Relieve You

Lincoln Thoracic Outlet Syndrome After a Car Crash

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is a common problem after a car accident, and it's something that Dr. Jerrad Swanson, DC, FMT, DN1 sees often in our Lincoln office. The key to recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help.

The thoracic outlet is a bundle of nerves and blood vessels that travel through your neck and shoulder to your arm. These vessels don't have a lot of room, so they pass underneath and through the strong bands of muscles that support your head.

In a collision, these muscle groups can be stretched and strained. If injured, the muscles become inflamed and sore, and they can develop scar tissue which limits motion and puts pressure on the tissues of the thoracic outlet. Pressure on the nerves can cause tingling or pins and needles in the shoulder, elbow and even the wrist. Pressure on the blood vessels can also cause problems in the arm.
