“…Entrapment neuropathies are common sources of pain and paraesthesia (Neal and Fields, 2010), and entrapment of the median nerve at the wrist, termed carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), accounts for 90% of such neuropathies (Atroshi et al, 1999;Papanicolaou et al, 2001;Kleopa, 2015). Prior to surgical approaches for severe CTS, conservative therapies are commonly recommended (Kleopa 2015), and acupuncture has been proposed as a viable option (Yang et al, 2009).…”

“…The axillary nerve is known to be the motor supply to the teres minor and deltoid muscles. The teres minor, originating from the scapula and inserting to the humerus, forms the superior border of the quadrangular space-an anatomic landmark and space implicated in some shoulder dysfunction syndromes [10,13]. The edge of the humerus forms the lateral border of the quadrilateral space, the teres major muscle forms the inferior border, and the long head of the triceps forms the medial border.…”
