The brachial plexus is a vital network of nerves that controls movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm and hand. When these nerves are stretched, compressed or torn — often due to trauma, birth injuries or accidents - the result can be pain, weakness or even complete loss of arm function.

Dr. Priyadarshan offers advanced brachial plexus injury treatment and brachial plexus surgery, helping patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life.

Brachial Plexus Injury Treatment Options

Dr. Priyadarshan recommends a range of nonsurgical and surgical solutions, depending on the type and severity of the injury:

Conservative Treatment

• 1. Physical therapy to maintain muscle strength
• 2. Pain management and anti-inflammatory medications
• 3. Monitoring for natural nerve regeneration

Surgical Intervention

If there is no improvement after a few months, brachial plexus surgery may be recommended. Each surgery is planned with precision, using nerve mapping and imaging to optimise outcomes.

• 1. Nerve grafting
• 2. Nerve transfers
• 3. Muscle transfers
