Nerve Injury and Repair

Nerve injury occurs when the nerves that transmit signals between the brain and muscles are damaged, often due to trauma, disease, or pressure. This can result in weakness, numbness, or pain in the affected area. Repairing these nerves can involve natural healing processes, where the nerve gradually regrows, or medical interventions such as surgery. Neuromuscular medicine focuses on assessing and treating these injuries to restore function. Rehabilitation techniques, including physical therapy, may also help improve muscle strength and coordination as the nerve heals. Early intervention is key to maximizing recovery potential.
