Chapter 10, “What Treatment Doesn’t Work and Why?”
In this chapter Dr. Stoxen reveals my the exhaustive research of more than 2,500 studies in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health database. This is the complete list of treatment procedures and approaches studied for the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome. I can almost guarantee the treatment approach used by your doctor is on this list.
- Medication: analgesic drug therapy, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, others
- Scalene injection (bupivacaine)
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
- Painkillers for symptom reduction
- Scalene injection (Botox)
- Gentle stretching of the scalenes and pectoralis minor
- Traction
- Ner ve gliding
- Ultrasound and muscle stimulation
- Different bra for breast hypertrophy
- Breast reduction—reduction mammoplasty
- Ergonomic corrections
- Correction of the ergonomics of the workstation
- First rib adjustments, alone
- General massage
- Exercise strengthening
Which one do you think, by itself, removes the compression on the outlet?
None of them!
Now do you wonder why you’re not getting better?
I will provide simple and logical explanations of why these 16 treatment approaches, individually, cannot reverse the cause of your thoracic outlet syndrome.
If treatment and training approaches are not compatible with true engineering of the body and are contrary to the laws of physics, that means they are destined to fail. And you know what? Time and time again, they do fail.
Much of the current, standard-of-care treatments, including adjustments, mobilizations, stretching, rehab exercises, injections, medications, and surgeries are destined to fail to achieve true maximum medical improvement, because the removal of the tension on your human spring is not addressed.
Vertebral discs and the thoracic outlet and tunnel are engineered with spring mechanics. Doctors cannot reverse the compression on your body’s spring mechanism with treatment approaches that are only effective on lever mechanisms.
What is logical about a doctor not knowing the engineering of a machine he is paid to fix?
This is what you will learn from this chapter.
- Find out why the natural treatment is always better than Botox for TOS
- Find out why the compression Botox reduces should return back when it wears off

- Find out why Botox can force you into a much longer rehab than you want
- Find out why you don’t want to get conservative care from a hospital that does a lot of TOS surgeries.

Chapter 13, “What Works and Why?”
This chapter reveals the ONLY two forms of treatments than can effectively reduce the compression that causes thoracic outlet syndrome.
Here I outline the effective treatment for reducing the compression that causes thoracic outlet syndrome. I had a photographer take pictures of a model demonstrating these self-massage and stretching methods that will begin to ease your symptoms and get you on the road to relief.
I also list the most powerful therapy that doctors should be using to quickly reduce inflammation, pain, and the tense muscles that are compressing your thoracic outlet and twisting your frame into a chronic state of suffering.
The reason most doctors aren’t using it is because they can’t get paid by the insurance companies for the treatment. Most doctors don’t do therapies unless they can make a buck.
What is great is that you don’t need to be a doctor to use it, so you can buy it and use it yourself to help you get better without the doctor’s help.
