OUCH! Pressing on the scalenes and surrounding muscles?
Art Ando is knowledgable of TOS. There is also a PT in Yorba Linda who has helped me immensely. Ruben Salinas has a doctorate in Anatomy and sure knows his stuff and TOS thanks to treating me.

I told him I didnt have rotator cuff problems-didnt even know where it was. All were excruciating. I have never had anyone press on the PMT or RC. Then he had 2 assistants do ultrasound on them, then he moblizied my neck and back(around my scalpula) by pressing, and adjusting then on ice, then kinesio tape. Very different from Dr. A. He said to give him 2 weeks and see how I feel and just do a couple of things at a time. My left side is worse than my right at the moment and I wasnt feeling that bad to begin with. Its pretty convenient so well see how it goes. AND I DIDNT GET FLARED UP.At any rate he treats alot of TOS patients. I will probably still go to Dr. A every few months or so. My goal is to go back to work in July. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
