Brachial plexus injuries can be extremely painful as it involves a particularly complex bundle of nerves located in the shoulder, arm and hand. Movement and sensory functions can be considerably impaired and in extreme cases leave you with a functionless arm.
In the vast majority of cases brachial plexus injuries are caused by automotive accidents, the playing of aggressive contact sports or as the result of complications during birth. In a few cases however it has been known for tumours and inflammation to cause the injury too.
Minor injuries to your brachial plexus can often be treated with physiotherapy and ongoing self-rehabilitation by means of daily stretching and strengthening exercises. More serous injuries however may incur the need for surgical treatment for the nerves, followed by intensive rehabilitation.
If your injury is a result of an automotive accident or sporting collision, that wasn’t your fault, did you know that it is possible to make a brachial plexus claim?

I never knew that you would want to seek physiotherapy treatment with a brachial plexus injury. It would seem that you would want to start working the muscles with a physiotherapist in order to improve them. My sister recently had a brachial plexus injury after a car accident, so she’ll have to find someone who can treat it.
