The Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Clinic at Phoenix Children’s is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children's Divisions of Neurology and Neurosurgery, and the Division of Plastic Surgery. We are committed to ensuring your child receives the highest level of care for brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries.
Our multidisciplinary team, comprised of pediatric neuromuscular specialists, nerve surgeons, and occupational and physical therapists, collaborate closely to assess your child's needs and create a personalized care plan. We offer comprehensive evaluations and the latest treatments for children suffering from brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries, caring for children across all age groups, including newborns. In addition, our Neuromuscular Program can also provide long-term treatment for patients in need of ongoing care related to their injuries.
Like adults, children can experience nerve injuries or compression that can manifest anywhere from their arms to their legs, resulting in weakness, numbness or pain. Children are naturally curious and joyful, engaging in activities like crawling, throwing balls, coloring or typing. However, a brachial plexus injury can significantly hinder their ability to perform these simple activities, affecting the movement of their shoulders, arms or hands. Our mission is to fully restore your child’s movement and functionality, enabling them to enjoy their childhood to its fullest.
