Treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome:

This syndrome is caused when the nerves and blood vessels are oppressed in the area extending from the chest to the neck, and it can occur for many reasons.   Symptoms include numbness in the arms or the inability to lift the arms upward.  A condition often seen as problematic is the one in which the scalenus muscle, which runs from the tibia to the os costale, oppresses the nerves that lead to the arm nearby.  Diagnosis is very important and must be made by a medical specialist in neurosurgery or neurology.

Treatment using Botox is reported to be effective for thoracic outlet syndrome.   Treatment must also be performed by a medical specialist, since it is necessary to inject precisely at the target muscle.
