Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is characterized by pain, tingling, or numbness in the neck and shoulders and a weakened grip. It is caused when excess pressure is placed on blood vessels and nerves running from the neck to the arm. Although it is an unusual condition, TOS can have serious consequences. A skilled chiropractor can help restore the body to its proper alignment, and may use stretching and other exercises to strengthen the neck and arms, and reduce symptoms.
