James Cyriax1 on treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome

"Within two or three weeks, (the typical middle aged sufferer) loses her long standing symptoms and, as long as she keeps to her regime, remains well.
After a time, the nerves lose the heightened sensitiveness resulting from repeated bruising; some months later the patient finds she can relax her precautions a good deal."

His treatment involves sitting up in the evening until the nerves have gone through their process of recovering - until their pins and needles have come and gone.

You need to wedge yourself in a canyon of cushions in an armchair, arms resting on the cushions so that your shoulders are up near your ears.

The pressure off, your nerves are able to recover now, rather than in the middle of the night.

This over, you will be able to go to bed and have an undisturbed night.

That's the easy part, of his thoracic outlet syndrome treatment.

During the day, you need to hold your shoulders slightly shrugged all the time, and right up near your ears all the time you are lifting anything.
This isn't easy.

It has to become a habit.
