Arm and Shoulder Symptoms Can Disrupt Everything
Thoracic outlet syndrome involves the space between the neck and collarbone, and its symptoms can be confusing and hard to explain.
Neck, shoulder, arm or hand symptoms can have several causes. Thoracic outlet syndrome is one worth having assessed.
Symptoms That Are Hard to Pin Down
Overhead lifting, racket sports or long desk hours can start to feel limited when symptoms linger.
Training and Work Get Interrupted
Pain control alone can leave the underlying movement issue untouched, so symptoms may keep returning.
