Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Peripheral nerve injuries are damage to the nerves that connect the brain and the spinal cord with the rest of the body, which can alter sensation, movement, or both in the affected area.
Common causes: They can originate from trauma, sustained compression, stretching, or cuts that affect the course of the nerve.
Common symptoms: Tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, or loss of strength in the region that depends on the damaged nerve.
Which specialist treats it? The physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, together with the physical therapist, support the functional recovery of these injuries. If you notice loss of sensation or strength after an injury, it is best to have it assessed by a professional who guides the rehabilitation process.
