Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, or TOS, is a term that is tossed around often but can feel difficult to diagnose and treat. Often defined by compression of nerves and vascular structures that originate in the cervical region and the upper extremity, compression of these structures can result in numbness and tingling, general discomfort in the upper extremity and chest, and even result in feelings of fatigue and heaviness in the arm and hand. These nerves and vascular structures typically become compressed in the area just above the first rib and behind the clavicle after they originate from the cervical region.
