Brachial Plexus Injury Treatment
Fastest Nerve Injury Recovery
Brachial Plexus Injury is found in children as well as in adults.
We at Physioline can help you recover from this problem in turn improving the functionality and quality of life.
Let’s Understand this condition
The brachial plexus is formed from the spinal nerves or roots, the coalescence of the ventral (motor) and the dorsal (sensory) rootlets as they pass through the spinal foramen. The dorsal root ganglion contains the cell bodies of the sensory nerves; the cell bodies for the ventral nerves lie within the spinal cord.
Typically, the brachial plexus is formed from C5-T1; in some cases with there is a contribution from C4 (prefixed, 28-62%) or T2 (postfixed, 16-73%). All nerve supply to the upper extremity passes through this plexus. The brachial plexus starts at the scalenes, courses under the clavicle, and ends at the axilla. It is typically composed of 5 roots, 3 trunks, 6 divisions (2 from each trunk), 3 cords and terminal branches.
CAUSES:
The common mechanism for traction injuries of the brachial plexus is violent distraction of the entire forequarter from the rest of the body. These injuries usually result from a motorcycle accident or a high-speed motor vehicle accident. A fall from a significant height may also result in brachial plexus injury, either traction type or from a direct blow; penetrating injuries and low- or high-velocity gunshot wounds also are seen.
SYMPTOMS:
- Pain, especially of the neck and shoulder. Pain over a nerve is common with rupture, as opposed to lack of percussion tenderness with avulsion
- Paresthesias and dysesthesias
- Weakness or heaviness in the extremity
- Diminished pulses, as vascular injury may accompany traction injury.
DIAGNOSIS:
The initial patient evaluation should occur as early as possible (usually by three months) following injury, or as soon as stabilization after the trauma permits.
The examination will consist of:
- Thorough medical history and physical examination
- X-rays
Myelogram — During a myelogram, a special dye that absorbs X-rays is injected into the spinal fluid. The resulting X-ray picture shows whether the spinal nerves are injured at the spinal cord level.
Electromyogram (EMG or electromyography) — This test measures how quickly nerves are carrying electrical signals to the muscles. A thin-needled electrode is inserted into the muscles that appear to be affected by a nerve injury. An instrument records the electrical activity in the muscle at rest and as the muscle moves (contracts).

TREATMENT:
Treatment options depend on the type and severity of the injury:
- Avulsion — The nerve is torn from the spine
- Rupture — The nerve is torn, but not where it attaches to the spine
- Stretch — The nerve has tried to heal itself (forming a neuroma), but scar tissue has grown around the injury, limiting nerve function
- Immediately after injury, emphasis is placed upon rehabilitation, including range of motion activities and strengthening and controlling pain.
- Independent Recovery
- Improvement or recovery occurs in some patients within weeks or several months of the injury.

Success Stories
I was completely shuttered after my accident where my hand was severed by a glass pane. I was disturbed as it was my right hand and I am the only bread winner for my family. All the doctors in India were not giving me any hopes and duration of recovery. Then I came across an article in newspaper about physioline. My family insisted me to start the treatment as directed by dr. sanjay, from a completely paralyzed state of my hand sooner I could see the movements and realized the effects of treatment. My hand showed significant improvement in three months duration and then it recovered fully. I would like to thank physioline and dr. sanjay for giving me my hand movements back. Today I am able to do everything with my right hand.YASHWANTH PILLAI, Hyderabad India Median and ulnar nerve injury
