The brachial plexus is a network of nerves in the shoulder. This network is connected by five major nerves in each arm. The brachial plexus is responsible for sending signals from the spinal cord to the shoulder, hand, and arm. These nerves carry signals from your spinal cord that allow your wrists, hands, and arm to move. This network also includes the sensory skin nerves, which help to feel sensations, including temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brachial plexus injury occurs due to compression or stretching of this nerve network. In some severe cases, the nerves may get ripped apart from the spinal cord. There may be different causes of the injuries, but some of them can heal on their own. Babies may have sustained brachial plexus during birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some minor brachial plexus injuries are also known as burners, or stingers, which can occur during physical activity or any sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
