Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Treatment Options
There are options in the treatment of TOS, and you have a choice. Some people may benefit from surgery. For others, their discomfort is not severe enough to justify surgery. Medications, learning new ways to move your arms and shoulders, improving your posture and core strength and even changing your work or play activities can improve your pain.
Here are some other ways to make the most of your pain treatment:
• Find a qualified health care provider who is knowledgeable about TOS and muscular bracing, as well as the use of behavioral pain management techniques.
• Make sure that your treatment simultaneously includes all available therapeutic approaches, including behavioral pain management techniques. It is essential to address chronic pain from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
• Pace yourself to make sure that you participate in just the right amount of physical activity — not so much or so little that you aggravate your condition. Moderate, well-timed exercise is important to both your physical and emotional well-being. A trained physical therapist can help design the activity regimen that will work best for you.
