I agree with jomar
Just find a really really good fascia/pt chiro for tos area (for NTOS, vascular i don't know about) But if you have myofascial pain syndrome all over that means your metabolism is busted imho

Stoxen claims to have seen 30,000 TOS patients and not one had surgery.
I watched his lecture, he definitely has extensive knowledge of TOS but I have a very hard time believing his assertion. |

Interesting video. I watched the whole thing. TOS is more complex than most people realize.

30,000 patients is a lot. It seems funny to me that no one here seems to know much about him. It seems like people would be singing his praises.

i havent seen the whole video but his point about not stretching your neck bc it pulls up the rib is good
i dont agree with the shoulder stuff he thinks tos is way under dx'd so that's probably how he's seen so many tos patients.

I watched the whole video and agree with much of it, including the shoulder stuff (TOS presents differently in all of us). I believe conservative management should be attempted before surgery and the therapist needs to be trained properly in rib mobilization. I wouldn't travel to see this guy expecting a miracle however.

[Since 1986 we have had over 30,000 new patients]
[we have numerous cases of thoracic outlet syndrome] [I thought the 30,000 was very high number if only TOS patients - but that # is for all their patients/clients. I think they do have some very good info mentioned, but I wonder about the limited number of sessions /time frame of treatment equaling lasting results. Especially for anyone that would be traveling a long distance.

Let me express the problems I had in watching the video.
He makes it seem like medical doctors do not have a patient's interests in mind and implies chiros are somehow more altruistic. He does not talk about the serious vascular risks when some vascular cases need prompt/immediate surgical intervention. He spends only 15 secs at the end of the video stating that patients failing conservative treatment (12 weeks without improvement) require surgery. Yet he says he's never had a patient have surgery. My only guess is he never hears from them again once they start down the surgical path. I don't like chiros that perpetrate as medical doctors and this guy strikes me as such. I do see a chiro who I like. |

Thank you for your perception. I have been seeing neurological chiropractor and massage therapist. My shoulder doesn't move properly now. I think my problem is now muscle from no being able to use them for so long and all the Botox they tried. |

There is a member named "drewanderson" who stated in another thread that they flew from Florida to Chicago to see this chiropractor and said that they really helped with the TOS. Unfortunately, the info provided was not very specific or detailed so we are left wondering exactly how it helped or what treatment was provided.
