Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) Pain Relief

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) pain relief is usually achieved by treating structures other than a cervical rib.  Fortunately even though cervical rib is the most commonly thought of reason for TOS it is actually the least common cause of it.  More common sources include scalene (neck) muscle spasm, sympathetic over activity (resulting in cold sensations and weather sensitive pain), nerve irritation, and ligamentous strain.  The good news is that unlike TOS from cervical rib surgery is not required for these other perpetrators and treatment results are much more effective than is achieved by rib resection.  Make no mistake about it,  TOS is hard to treat and results don’t occur over night but with concerted effort the condition can and does improve.   Visit piedmontpmr.com to learn more about diagnosis and treatment options of TOS for Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson patients.

Scoliosis Pain Relief Without Surgery

Scoliosis pain relief is quite possible without surgery.   Even when scoliosis is structural and with a significant curve there are many treatment options that can be quite effective.   This is because other structures such as muscle, nerve, and ligament often are the source of the pain, even spinal curvature is obvious.  In fact quite often the soft tissues surrounding the spine and the effects of scoliosis on the rest of the body hurt more than the cure itself. At Piedmont Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, PA we offer scoliosis spinal care for patients in Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and surrounding areas.  We make use of musculoskeletal ultrasound, electrodiagnostics, and other less well known studies such as medical thermal imaging to diagnosis the root cause of your pain and then apply specific treatment options that try to restore tissue to normal.  The goal is always to improve function and quality of life while reducing pain, weakness, or numbness.   Learn more about diagnosis and treatment options for scoliosis at piedmontpmr.com.
