How Physiotherapy Can Help
Peripheral nerves connect your brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body, controlling movement, sensation, and reflexes. When these nerves are injured whether from trauma, surgery, diabetes, or pressure it can cause weakness, numbness, pain, or difficulty moving.
Peripheral nerve injuries are more common than many realize, especially after accidents, sports injuries, or in people with diabetes. Symptoms can vary from mild tingling to severe muscle weakness and loss of coordination.
What Happens When Nerves Are Injured?
- Strengthen weak muscles
- Restore sensation
- Reduce nerve pain
- Improve balance and coordination
- Prevent muscle stiffness and joint problems
Early treatment is key. Gentle exercises, soft tissue therapies, electrical stimulation, and guided movements can all help nerves heal and muscles stay active. We also provide education on protecting the affected area and managing symptoms at home.
Recovery time depends on the severity of the injury. Mild injuries may improve in weeks, while more severe damage may require longer rehabilitation. Consistent physiotherapy gives you the best chance to regain strength, function, and independence.
If you are experiencing symptoms like numbness, weakness, or persistent pain after an injury, don’t wait.
