Brachial Plexus Injury Specialists in Dallas — Accidents, Sports & Falls

Brachial plexus injuries occur when trauma from car accidents, falls, or sports collisions damages the network of nerves controlling the arm and shoulder. Symptoms include numbness, weakness, or even paralysis. Our fellowship-trained orthopedic and pain specialists provide rapid diagnosis and a customized plan, from therapy and injections to surgical repair when needed. Same- or next-day appointments at seven DFW locations.

Why It Hurts?

The brachial plexus is a complex network of nerves that control movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. Trauma from accidents or falls can stretch or tear these nerves, leading to weakness, tingling, or loss of function. Without timely care, injuries may become permanent. See our Shoulder Pain and Wrist & Hand Pain pages.

Frequently asked questions

What causes brachial plexus injuries after accidents?

Brachial plexus injuries usually occur when trauma from car accidents, falls, or sports collisions stretches or tears nerves in the neck and shoulder. This can cause pain, numbness, or paralysis. Our specialists use advanced imaging and nerve studies to diagnose injuries and create treatment plans. Learn more about related injuries on our Arm & Shoulder Hub

When should I see a doctor for arm weakness or numbness?

If you experience sudden weakness, numbness, or loss of arm movement after trauma, see a doctor immediately. Early evaluation of nerve injuries prevents permanent disability. Our specialists provide same-/next-day visits across seven DFW locations. Learn more about nerve-related injuries on our Brachial Plexus page.

Can brachial plexus injuries heal without surgery?

Yes, many mild injuries improve with therapy, rest, and non-surgical care. However, severe tears may require nerve grafts or surgical repair. Our doctors create individualized treatment plans based on exam and imaging. Learn more about non-surgical recovery on our Therapies page. 

What imaging or tests diagnose brachial plexus injuries?

Diagnosis often includes MRI, CT myelogram, and nerve conduction studies (EMG). These tests identify nerve damage and guide treatment. Imaging ensures that therapy, injections, or surgery are matched to your exact injury. See more about imaging on our Shoulder Pain page.

Do injections help with brachial plexus pain?

Yes. Cortisone injections may reduce nerve-related inflammation and pain, while biologic options like PRP can support healing. Injections are often combined with therapy or surgical planning. Learn more about injection treatments on our PRP page.

Why is early treatment important for brachial plexus injuries?

Without timely diagnosis and treatment, nerve damage can lead to permanent paralysis, chronic pain, or loss of function. Early evaluation allows for effective therapy, injections, or surgery before nerve scarring sets in. Learn more about early injury care on our Arm & Shoulder Hub.
