Women are mostly affected by Carpal tunnel syndrome before or during menopause. The unbearable, partly paroxysmal, nightly pains send them to the doctor. If we seek osteopathic neck and shoulder treatment on the cervical or brachial plexus and/or the median nerve that can achieve remarkable results as well.
