PT may help in addition to chiro, but getting an accurate diagnosis is important. You will most likely need a referral to PT, so start by seeing a doctor that specialized in TOS (often a thoracic surgeon). If you let us know what state you live in someone on this forum may be able to suggest a local doctor.

That’s my main thing. I just want to be positive that TOS is accurate diagnosis.
I live in Tennessee.

Also I have an appointment with a neurologist in mid July. Could that help get accurate diagnosis?

Often a TOS dx is a process of ruling out other things, then factoring in your sx..
TOS is a slow dx process.. Many MDs have partial knowledge if any.
They prefer something to clearly show up on testing or imaging.
For best results , find a well known TOS Doc..
