BRACHIAL PLEXUS: ANATOMY, CLINICAL CORRELATIONS, AND HOMEOPATHY
Dr Hemlata Singhal
The brachial plexus is a vital network of nerves that originates from the spinal cord in the neck and supplies the upper limb. It is responsible for motor and sensory innervation of the shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand. Injuries or pathologies affecting the brachial plexus can lead to significant disability, including weakness, paralysis, or sensory loss. Conventional medical management often includes surgical intervention, and intensive physiotherapy to restore limb function. However, the prognosis can be variable and recovery may be incomplete. In this context, homeopathy offers a complementary therapeutic approach, focusing on individual symptomatology, enhancing the body’s innate healing mechanisms, and addressing associated pain, stiffness, or weakness. Remedies such as Hypericum perforatum, Causticum, and Rhus toxicodendron have traditionally been used for conditions involving nerve injuries and neuropathic pain.
