Patient's question:
My relative's son weighed about 8.5 jin at birth. At first, we didn't notice anything unusual, as he seemed just like other children. But now, his left arm can't move, although his finger strength is much stronger. What is the treatment for brachial plexus injury in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the information you provided, it is believed that the infant has brachial plexus nerve injury. It is recommended to take the baby to a local standard children's hospital for treatment, including immobilization therapy and massage, to restore vitality to the affected limb as soon as possible. Surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. Please do not worry. Most children achieve satisfactory results after immobilization and massage therapy. Physical therapy for the injured area, such as electrostimulation therapy and magnetotherapy, can be combined with acupuncture, massage, and manipulation to help eliminate nerve shock, release nerve adhesions, and promote joint relaxation.
