Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (NTOS)
Personalised Care
Praveen Cherian provides a personalised, evidence-based approach to the assessment and management of Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (NTOS) and related nerve compression conditions. His treatment plans are designed to reduce symptoms, restore
function, and help patients return to their daily activities with confidence.
Following a comprehensive assessment, an individual rehabilitation programme is developed to address each patient’s specific presentation and goals. Many patients respond well to conservative treatment, while those with more complex or persistent symptoms may benefit from specialist surgical consultation. When surgery is required, structured post-operative rehabilitation plays a vital role in achieving the best possible outcome.
