Symptoms: Pain,
numbness, tingling and paresthesia (pins and
needles) in the entire hand. Symptoms may be
presented in the forearms and upper arms as well.
-
Cause of Symptoms: Thoracic
Outlet Syndrome is caused by compression of the
Brachial Plexus that lies between the upper
pectoral muscles and the clavicle (collar bone).
This compression occurs due to the overly tight
restrictive pectoral muscles and anterior shoulder
muscles squeezing down on Brachial Plexus while
the anterior scalene muscles lift up the first
and second ribs, impinging the Brachial
Plexus, a unique nerve system containing the
median, ulnar and radial nerves, between the
muscles, ribs and clavicle.

Treatment
of Symptoms: FLEXTEND®-AC can
assist in reducing the symptoms of Thoracic
Outlet Syndrome by stretching
and lengthening the overly tight, restrictive
deltoid and pectoral muscles, thereby reducing
compression of the Brachial Plexus. The FLEXTEND®-AC
also simultaneously strengthens the antagonist
muscles in order to help maintain the length
created from stretching the pectoral
and deltoid muscles.
