brachial plexopathy

[Guest guest]

In 1997 I received a hyperextension of the brachial plexus in my left

shoulder during a surgical procedure. The vast majority of the

damage was to the motor tract leaving my entire upper extremity

immobile; some damage was done to the sensory tract leaving me with

extreme hypersensitivity in my hand, primarily the thumb and index.

I've had nearly five years of occupational therapy which has helped

maintain the range of motion (passively) but no relief for the

hypersensitivity.

 

Question: would acupuncture be able to lessen or even block some of

the discomfort in my hand?

 

Thanks, Guy.
