NECK – THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME (TOS)
- Neck Pain from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome . Spine-Health

(1) Traumatic injury. A major collision or fall could lead to internal changes that place more pressure on the thoracic outlet’s nerves and/or blood vessels.
(2) Repetitive motions. Sports involving repetitive shoulder movements—baseball, volleyball, swimming; Work that involves reaching up above the head
(3) Poor posture. head drifting forward and shoulders rounding forward - 3 Videos + 3 Graphics – TOS – Explained . December 23, 2022
OSTEOARTHRITIS & SPINAL STENOSIS
· EXPLAINED
- What is Degenerative Disc Disease? – Spine-Health
– Symptoms of back or neck pain caused by wear-and-tear on a spinal disc typically consisting of low-level chronic pain with more severe intermittent episodes
– Common in the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine). These areas of the spine undergo the most motion and stress.
– Degenerative disc disease is not a disease, but a condition in which natural, age-related wear-and-tear on a disc causes pain, instability, and other symptoms.
– This condition usually does not result in long-term disability, and most cases can be managed using non-surgical treatment methods. - 1 Video – Osteoarthritis Explained . December 23, 2022

· EXPLAINED
- What is Spinal Stenosis? . Spine-Health
– When one or more bony openings (foramina) within the spine begin to narrow and reduce space for the nerves.
– This process can occur within the spinal canal and/or in the intervertebral foramina where spinal nerves exit the spinal canal.
– Depending on location and narrowing over time, a spinal nerve or the spinal cord could become compressed and cause pain, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness
(1) Pain. The pain might be dull and confined to the neck or lower back, or it could be an electric-like pain that radiates into the arm(s) or leg(s). The pain can vary over time, possibly flaring up during certain activities. Sometimes the pain is more of a pins-and-needles tingling sensation.
(2) Numbness. Reduced sensation or total numbness may occur in the arm, leg, and/or other areas of the body.
(3) Weakness. Reduced strength or problems with coordination may be experienced in the arm, leg, and/or other parts of the body. - 2 Videos + 5 Graphics – Cervical Stenosis Explained . December 23, 2022

SCIATIC PAIN
· EXPLAINED
- Sciatica – Lower Back Pain & the Sciatic Nerve · Blair – Osteopath – 2020
– Sciatica accompanies about 10% of lower back pain episodes and nerve root compression by disc herniation is regarded as the most frequent cause of sciatica
– It is estimated that 90% of sciatica cases are the result of a disc herniation or disc bulge in the lumbar spine that compresses on the sciatic nerve root - Difference Between a Herniated Disc and a Bulging Disc . Penn Medicine – 2018
– Bulging Disc: is like letting air out of a car tire. The disc sags and looks like it is bulging outward
– Herniated Disc: the outer covering of the disc has a hole or tear. This causes the nucleus pulposus (jelly-like center of the disc) to leak into the spinal canal. - 3 Videos + 6 Graphics + 1 Link – Sciatic Pain & Disc Herniations Explained . December 23, 2022
