Answer
staten island erbs palsy,


Hello Sharmila Mahendran,

I am sorry to hear of your child's palsy.
Erb's Palsy is usually the result of injury sustained at birth.

Staten Island Erb's Palsy cases, luckily, are rare.  In 26+ years of practice I have seen only one  case.

Chiropractic can be helpful for your child.  Here is some research that shows chiropractic can be an appropriate treatment for your child:  http://www.icpa4kids.org/research/chiropractic/erbs.htm

Here is one study:

Chiropractic adjustments and Erb's Palsy: a case study.   Hyman CA,   Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics. Oct. 1997;2(2) pp. 157-60..

Chiropractic care of a patient presenting to the author's chiropractic office, with obstetrical brachial plexus injury at the level of C5-C6 nerve roots (Erb's Palsy). Brachial plexus injuries are most commonly seen in newborns and are usually caused by traction and excessive lateral flexion of the head and neck during delivery.

Patient:   A two-month old black female presented with obstetrical brachial plexus injury (Erb's Palsy). This infant had been under the care of several medical pediatricians without resolution.

Conclusion:   The infant had complete resolution of her condition with no complications or residual impairments under chiropractic care.




I do not know of a particular Doctor of Chiropractic in your country, India.     However, Chiropractic is worldwide, so there should be some chiropractic doctors available to you.

When I attended Chiropractic Graduate School, we had students - literally - from around the world.
