Brachial Plexus Dysfunction treatment in Miguel Hidalgo

Brachial plexus dysfunction involves the network of nerves that, starting from the neck, distributes signals to the shoulder, arm, and hand, coordinating their movement and sensation.

Possible causes: It can arise from trauma, sudden stretching, compression in the neck or shoulder area, or injuries during falls and accidents.

Common signs: Weakness or partial paralysis of the arm, pain, numbness, and difficulty moving the shoulder or hand usually appear, to varying degrees depending on the extent of the damage.

Which specialist treats it? The evaluation falls to the neurologist, with the involvement of the orthopedist or the rehabilitation specialist depending on the case. If after a blow or strain you notice a loss of strength or sensation in the arm, it is important to have it reviewed promptly by a professional.
