Gresham, OR Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and Car Accidents.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is a common symptom after a car crash, and it’s something that Dr. Robert Ramsey sees often in our Gresham, OR 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 travel through your neck and shoulder to your arm. These nerves and blood vessels don’t have a lot of room, 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 injured, the muscles become inflamed and tender, and they can develop scar tissue which limits movement and puts pressure on the tissues of the thoracic outlet. Pressure on the nerves can cause tingling or numbness in the shoulder,elbow and even the wrist. Pressure on the blood vessels can also cause problems in the arm.
