2009 Historic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Conference is here!
The biggest indication of progress and change is recognition. Without improved TOS awareness and education, TOS will stayed mired in controversy for another fifty years. Let's not let this happen, let's create change! Let's come together and show our government that TOS patients and professionals want recognition and help for this terribly painful and sometimes life and limb threatening condition. As a patient, I know that alone feeling all too well but I'm here to tell you that you're no longer alone and that together we can make progress and help one another. Come one come all, meet us in St. Louis for the first ever official conference dedicated to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome! Meet other TOS patients, submit general non personal questions to TOS professionals, dine with TOS patients and professionals from America, Canada , UK and other countries.
