Each of the nerves in your arm and hand begin in your brachial plexus in your spine. Nerve compression can occur anywhere from your neck to your fingers and our therapists are specialists in treating them all. Nerve compression can include conditions such as carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel where pressure on the nerves causes symptoms like tingling, pins and needles, pain and weakness. These may require surgery, however, can also be treated conservatively with splinting, exercises and activity modification. It can also include nerve lacerations from traumatic injuries which require surgical repair and following surgery our therapists will fabricate a custom-made thermoplastic splint and provide you with movement exercises, scar management, desensitisation and strengthening exercises.
Whether conservatively managed or post-operatively, our therapists can treat your nerve pathology with evidence based best practice to return you to daily activities.
