Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and Car Crashes

If you are dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome after an auto injury, you're not alone. Dr. Kallio sees this type of problem very often in our Lincoln 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 pass through your neck and shoulder to your arm. These nerves and blood vessels don't have a lot of space, so they pass under 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 inflamed and tender, and they can develop scar tissue which restricts movement 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.

Lincoln Thoracic Outlet Treatment

Chiropractic can be an effective way to treat thoracic outlet syndrome, as Dr. Kallio will help improve mobility in your spine and restore normal nerve function in your neck and shoulder.

Dr. Kallio is here in Lincoln to help you recover from thoracic outlet syndrome. We've been helping patients since 2009 and we can probably help you, too. Dr. Kallio will first determine what's causing your pain and then work to restore your body to its natural functioning. Give our office a call today at (402) 484-5166 to make an appointment.
