Summary
The aim of this course is to review the classification system for diagnosing TOS and discuss twelve potential self-management options for treating this sometimes challenging condition. In rare cases, those who are unresponsive to conservative care may require further medical investigations and a surgical consult.
The prevalence of TOS continues to be very controversial with strong opinions at both ends of the spectrum where some have claimed it is over-diagnosed while others claim it is under-diagnosed. This course aims to take a balanced approach based on the best available evidence.
