Default Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: A variety of sites & articles

THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME: PUZZLING
Journal of the American Chiropractic Association, Jan 2004

I don't think this article has been posted before.

[Ask any three chiropractic neurologists about thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) and you're likely to get three very different answers about the prevalence-or even the existence-of the condition. That disparity of opinion mirrors the allopathic medical profession's analysis. The National Institute of Neurologic Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) reports that the only type of thoracic outlet syndrome whose definition most scientists agree on is true neurologic TOS-a rare, usually painless disorder caused by congenital anomalies, appearing most commonly in middle-aged women, with symptoms that include weakness and wasting of hand muscles and numbness in the hand.]

Default Hand clinic articles {pdf}

[In most cases, the following links go to online abstracts of the cited article. Full text is often available online but requires subscription to the Journal, sometimes for a brief period (e.g. 24 hours), at nominal cost.
The Hand Clinic articles are free, downloadable PDFs.]
the articles are from 2004 but many many not have had access to them.

This site is in our stickys already but it looks like they updated it so I thought a re posting would be nice.

[The three pages of this section on Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) include a collection of selected, fully referenced excerpts and qualitative links on TOS, with definitions and descriptions, information on the affected anatomy, diagnosic criteria, pathophysiology, epidemiology, Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS), Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), treatment strategies and procedures, doctor lists, forums, and clinical papers.]

Default Osteopathic Principles Key to Treating Patients with Thoracic Outlet Syndromes

Four major syndromes have specific characteristics and diagnostic tests

by Elaine Wallace, DO

[There are few syndromes seen by the busy family practitioner that better demonstrate the osteopathic interrelationship of structure and function than does Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS).

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is actually a group of upper extremity impingement syndromes involving the neurovascular bundle of the arm that are logical in progression, easy to diagnose and easy to help.

The thoracic outlet is the upper lid (operculum) of the chest cage, so named because it is the site from which the arterial flow of the thorax flows out. Actually, more things flow into the thorax at the operculum than out, including venous flow, ascending and descending terminal ducts of the lymphatic system, the vagus nerve, the phrenic nerve and parts of the brachial plexus, the esophagus and the trachea.]
