Hi, it does pretty familiar, and few MDs "know' much of TOS or they have a minimal biased info..
I suggest seek out some experienced chiropractors in your area, they can get more done faster than months of PT.. Many also use other modalities now, like ultrasound, IF stim, low level laser, for pain areas as well as posture help & adjusting.. The one I went to adjusted wrists, elbows, collar bone, top rib mobilization, also he did upper cervical (c1c2 adjusting- legs/hips /ribs /shoulders etc not level) much more than the old crack the spine only treatments.. I searched recently and some DCs around here also use acupuncture & other alternatives in office. check our sticky threads for trigger points & PT info.. The knowledge will help you to find best care providers..

Unfortunately the PT list doesn't have much for NYC.. or maybe I'm bad at searching. I did find some that supposedly specializes in TOS. I might give it a try. I'm not sure about chiropractors though.. hard to find a good one and I don't want to risk them making things worse. |

Web search for PT /DC in your area and look at their websites if they have one..
I like to see real information and articles on a site vs just a single page. Your health Ins website should have a search function also and the list should expand to website link , or search the name if it doesn't. When you find a few that look promising, you can call or drive by and stop in to chat..if not busy they will have time to talk with you.. Advanced training & studies mentioned is good. My chiro didn't know about TOS , but he knew about the body as a whole & could see I was in pain and had spasmed muscles. He found me LOL Chiro is kind of scary at first, but after going to 2 of them, it isn't really at all, quite gentle. I don't think there are many old style rough spine crackers out there anymore.. Most have a meet & greet/1st visit /assessment where you can get a feel for their knowledge first.
