Treatment for Brachial Plexus Injury Extending from the spinal cord within the neck through the armpit, the brachial plexus is a network of nerves that control the muscles of the shoulder, arm and hand. Brachial plexus injury occurs when any of these nerves is injured, usually during birth. In adults, the injury can be caused by auto accidents. Brachial plexus treatment helps to reduce pain and restore the normal functioning of the arms, hands and shoulder. If the condition is left untreated, the muscles associated with the damaged nerves will waste away and becomes dysfunctional permanently. The most common symptoms of this nerve injury are:
Severe pain
Loss of sensation
Muscle weakness
Numbness and paralysis in the arm
Neck pain
Lack of sensation
