It's another area of expertise in addition to the usual chiro adjustments.
My chiro would adjust my elbows, wrists, ribs, hips when needed, even my foot when I had a case of Plantar fasciitis come up.
He also used a lot of PT type modalities low level laser, IF stim, massage /NIMMO.
Previous whiplash events can be a factor in eventually acquiring TOS. Even many many years later, it's like all the little things add up until something puts it over the edge.
Chiro was covered much better by my ins, for some reason..vs PT coverage..

I know there were adjustments to my neck w/ my previous chiro, although I'm not sure about the exact adjustments that were made. My car accidents and general abuse from sports might play a role in what I'm going through, but it honestly isn't what I'm thinking about right now. Regardless, I just want to focus on getting better

My PT appointment yesterday at Dynamic Physical Therapy went better than anticipated. The PT has manual therapy certification. My evaluation was roughly an hour, after which I had treatment for another hour. I had cervical spine adjustments as part of the treatment. She also taped my right shoulder at the end of the session, in which she emphasized not using the tape as a crutch for my posture (which I know has gotten fairly poor in the past 9 months) but as a reminder of where my posture should be; essentially, don't let the tape become taut.
I immediately had improvements in my peripheral vision, ability to focus, and my general lightheaded/dizzy feeling has disappeared. I also had some improvement in arm circulation and sensation in my arms.
I've got a great PT. I just hope Dr. Pearce agrees and approves the evaluation/treatment plan she gives him.
