Rehabilitation for Peripheral nerves at Boya Clinic

Peripheral nerve injuries are a group of conditions in which a nerve running to the muscles and skin of an arm or leg is damaged. The causes vary: trauma or a fracture, prolonged compression, inflammation of the nerve, the aftermath of an infection, and in infants the consequences of a birth injury. The picture depends on which nerve is affected and how deeply: muscle weakness up to flaccid paresis, an incomplete range of motion, reduced sensation, and numbness. Over a long course, muscle bulk decreases and the child adapts — starts managing with the healthy limb, so the "switched-off" arm or leg falls behind even further.

Boya Hospital (Yuncheng, Shanxi Province) works with such injuries as part of pediatric neurological rehabilitation. The core of the program is apparatus-based physiotherapy. The hospital has a dedicated device for partial denervation and muscle atrophy, for neuritis, plexitis, and radiculitis; it also uses electrostimulation of meridian points aimed at nerve conduction, and multifunctional limb stimulation, in which pulsed current acts on muscle groups in a set sequence, imitating natural movement. Next come exercise therapy (range of motion, postural symmetry, gait pattern when a leg is affected), occupational therapy (grip, hand–eye coordination, everyday skills when an arm is affected), pediatric Tui Na massage, and herbal compresses against stiffness. Acupuncture is added when the doctor prescribes it. The schedule is the standard one: 6–9 sessions a day, 6 days a week.

What to expect from the course

The pace of recovery is set by the nerve itself, and sessions cannot speed it up — promising otherwise would be untrue. What rehabilitation really can do is preserve what needs to work once conduction returns: joint mobility, muscle bulk and strength, and the habit of using the limb. That is exactly why regularity matters: daily work holds the result, while breaks quickly eat it away. Progress is tracked by range of motion, strength, and how the child uses the arm or leg in ordinary activities.

How to start

Send us your child's documents — the neurologist's report, ENMG, nerve ultrasound, and records after injuries or surgery. The hospital's doctor will review them and determine the program. The document-based consultation is free, and there is no prepayment: you pay on site and only for what your child has actually received.
