Medical Conditions - Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic outlet syndrome involves pain and numbness in the shoulders, arms, and fingers. The word thoracic outlet refers to the space between the collar bone and the first rib. Sometimes due to physical assaults, trauma, structural issues, and sports injuries the nerves and blood vessels in the thoracic outlet space may get compressed to cause certain symptomatic complications. Physical therapy, pain control, and surgery are the best options for management.
