Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and Car Crashes and How Chiropractic Therapy can Help You

Harrisburg Thoracic Outlet Problems After an Auto Injury

If you suffer from thoracic outlet syndrome after an auto injury, don't despair. Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees this type of condition frequently in our Harrisburg office. The key to recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help.

The thoracic outlet is a bundle of nerves and blood vessels that travel through your neck and shoulder to your arm. These nerves and blood vessels don't have a lot of room, so they travel underneath and between the strong bands of muscles that support your head.

In a collision, these muscles can be stretched and strained. If damaged, the muscles become swollen and sore, and they can develop scar tissue which limits motion and puts stress on the tissues of the thoracic outlet. Pressure on the nerves can cause tingling or pins and needles in the shoulder, elbow and even the wrist. Pressure on the blood vessels can also cause problems in the arm.

Harrisburg Thoracic Outlet Treatment

Chiropractic adjustments can be an effective way to treat thoracic outlet syndrome, as Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation will help improve mobility in your spine and restore normal nerve movement in your neck and shoulder.

Let us help you recover from thoracic outlet syndrome. Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation has helped many people with the same problem, and we can probably help you, too. First, we'll do a careful assessment to determine the root cause of your problem, and then decide how to restore your body's natural functioning.
