Nerve Injuries

About Nerve Injuries at Kayakriti

Nerves act as the body's electrical wiring, carrying messages between the brain and the rest of the body. There are two main types: motor nerves that drive muscles and sensory nerves that carry sensation. Nerves can malfunction when compressed, stretched or cut. Recognising the type of injury early is the foundation of effective peripheral nerve injury treatment at Kayakriti.

When a nerve is compressed or stretched, the outer covering may stay intact while internal signal transmission suffers. Tingling, numbness, weakness or pain develop. If the pressure continues unrelieved, permanent damage can follow. Common causes include trapped nerves at the wrist, elbow or knee, prolonged pressure during sleep or surgery, and stretching during fractures and dislocations, all needing careful nerve damage treatment.

When a nerve is cut or severely injured, the internal fascicles and outer covering are both disrupted, leading to partial or complete loss of motor power and sensation. Without timely repair, the regrowing fibres may form a painful neuroma at the cut ends. Surgical repair under the microscope, using very fine sutures, brings the divided ends together so signals can re-establish.

Unlike a wire, a nerve does not start working immediately after repair. Fibres typically begin regrowing about three to four weeks after surgery and advance at roughly one inch per month. Final results may take many months to a year. Tingling during recovery is normal and indicates regrowth. Kayakriti's microsurgery nerve repair protocol pairs surgery with structured rehabilitation.
