I have this syndrome because I have one pair of extra cervical ribs. Sometimes I don't have any symptoms, sometimes I can't write with my hand. I tried physiotherapy, massage and back exercises but without any effects. I think my posture still needs exercises, but I hope I won't need surgical treatment.

You can have a minor surgery to remove the extra ribs.

Could this cause a beating in the brain mainly in one side? I feel it all in thw same side, the artery in the neck, to the brain. 😢

Chiropractic websites act like this is common, and yet here it is called a zebra. Food for thought.

[@GonthorianPX]
