Traumatic Neural Dissection – Damage of Peripheral Nerve

Have suffered an injury and lost feeling in the area or are unable to perform a specific movement? Then a nerve might have been dissected. The best option is to see your physician. Surgical intervention significantly increases the chance of complete regeneration of the nerve fibres and return of functionality.

Characteristics of Traumatic Neural Dissection and its Causes

A condition where a nerve is dissected during a trauma or is bruised or damaged by too much pressure.

The most common injury to the nerve is by an incision, by which the nerve may be either partially or completely dissected. The other ways of damaging the nerve are a result of bruising or compression by bones or a clot during trauma.

The result of injuring the nerve is loss of mobility in muscles controlled by this particular nerve or loss or change of sensitivity in an area of skin surface, such as in the case when there is loss of sensitivity after a cut to a finger. Sometimes, loss of sensitivity is experienced in the form of formication, burning and a tingling sensation. Damage to the trigeminal nerve leads to pain.

Due to the fact that the injury is painful, the patient usually realizes the trouble. Tendons and muscles are often injured as well.

The positive is that an injured nerve has great potential to regenerate. It grows 1 mm a day.

Without surgical treatment, however, there is a risk of neuroma (a very painful nodule) where the nerve cannot find the correct pathway to muscles and skin and develops into a little ball at the end of the dissected nerve.

Neural Dissection Treatment – Rid yourself of the Issue

Treatment is focused on bringing back functionality of the damaged peripheral nerve.

Timely surgical intervention is of the essence. The nerve is either sutured back together or is stretched. Rest is necessary after such a procedure.

Long term physical rehabilitation and electrostimulation follow. It takes months to return functionality of the nerve.

3D Biomag pulse therapy plays an important role in rehabilitation. Its goal is to accelerate the process of healing of the nerve and return of full functionality.

The greatest benefit of 3D pulse therapy is the possibility of application in your home which does not interrupt all the necessary rehabilitation.
