  • adult brachial plexus injuries
  • obstetrical brachial plexus injuries
  • trauma or other brachial plexus injuries

State your philosophy regarding evaluation, referral and treatment of brachial plexus injuries in children.

Our philosophy regarding the care of these patients is that we appreciate the complexity of the injury and the subtle differences that exist from patient to patient. Therefore every patient must be evaluated IN PERSON by each of us and the therapist to come up withh a cohesive long-term treatment regimen that must be reevaluated every 2 or 3 months. We tend to be more conservative and believe in the importance of enlightened therapy and other modalities and operate only when indicated.
