Many patients are surprised to learn that their arm pain isn't coming from their spine. While a Slipped DiscĀ is the most common self-diagnosis, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)Ā often mimics those same symptoms:
Numbness and tinglingĀ in the arms or hands.
Weakness in your gripĀ or difficulty holding objects.
A "pinching" sensationĀ when looking up or rotating the neck.
TOS occurs when the space between your collarbone and first rib narrows, compressing the nerves and blood vessels that lead to your arm. This is often a result of forward neck posture or repetitive strain.
