What You’ll Learn:

  • The anatomy and mechanisms behind neurogenic, arterial, and venous thoracic outlet syndrome
  • How to differentiate TOS from other conditions that present with similar symptoms including cervical radiculopathy, shoulder pathology, and peripheral nerve entrapments
  • The most clinically relevant special tests for TOS and how to interpret them in context
  • A systematic assessment approach to confidently identify and classify TOS presentations in your practice

Why It Matters:

Thoracic outlet syndrome is one of the most underdiagnosed and misunderstood conditions in musculoskeletal practice. Its symptoms — arm pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness — overlap significantly with cervical and shoulder pathology, making it easy to miss or misclassify. Patients with TOS often see multiple providers before receiving an accurate diagnosis. This course gives you the clinical framework to recognize TOS earlier, assess it more accurately, and make sure your patients aren't left searching for answers.
