Hi boytos,
The way I understand your post, is that TOS can
mimic Parkinson's Disease, as it can mimic
symptoms of many other diseases - making TOS difficult to diagnose. True that cervical decompression can relieve these similar symptoms, but if this were the sole cause of PD, then all sufferers could be helped via a decompression surgery.
Here's what Wikipedia says:

PD is also called "primary parkinsonism" or "idiopathic PD" (classically meaning having no known cause). While many forms of parkinsonism are idiopathic, "secondary" cases may result from toxicity most notably of drugs, head trauma, or other medical disorders.
