Erb's Palsy (Brachial Plexus) Physiotherapy in Vellore
Birth injury to the upper brachial plexus — early physio and, when needed, surgical review preserve arm function.
Erb's palsy is stretch injury to C5–C6 nerve roots during birth. Most infants recover partially or fully with early physio; some need microsurgical repair around 3–6 months.
Symptoms we look for
- Arm hangs at the side, hand facing back
- Weak elbow flexion
- Preserved hand grip
- Asymmetric Moro reflex
Benefits
- •Early physio (< 4 weeks)
- •Family involvement
- •Splinting when indicated
Trade-offs
- •Pulling on the affected arm during dressing
- •Ignoring shoulder tightness
- •Skipping surgical review at 3 months if no biceps

"My son's school in Thorapadi recommended this clinic for his erb's palsy. The paediatric therapist made every session fun for him. Parents get a home program too. In 8 weeks the difference is dramatic."
Suresh R.Thorapadi, Vellore - Oct 2026
"Booked a home visit for my mother's erb's palsy in Ranipet. One-on-one attention, honest pricing, no unnecessary sessions. WhatsApp reminders and follow-ups made the recovery smooth. Highly recommend for anyone looking for evidence-based physio in Vellore."
Naveen B.Ranipet, Vellore - Mar 2026
"My father, a diabetic patient in Sathuvachari, was recovering from erb's palsy. The physiotherapist worked around his sugar levels, mobility, and family schedule. Six weeks in, he is walking without support. Truly patient-centred care."
Sowmya T.Sathuvachari, Vellore - Sep 2025
"Insurance-friendly billing and detailed reports for my employer. My erb's palsy recovery plan included manual therapy, dry needling, and progressive loading — exactly what current research recommends. Five stars."
Ramesh P.Arcot, Vellore - Feb 2025
"As a 28-year-old from Melvisharam, I struggled with erb's palsy for months before coming here. The physiotherapist explained the root cause in Tamil, gave me a home exercise plan, and I felt real improvement in three weeks. Best decision I made this year."

"Loved the transparency. Cost sheet given upfront for the entire erb's palsy program, no hidden add-ons. Sessions started and ended on time. Reception team even coordinated with my Ola driver for pickup."
Priya M.Gandhi Nagar, Vellore - Jun 2026
"Compared three clinics in Vellore before choosing this one. What convinced me was that the assessment for my erb's palsy was proper — orthopedic tests, movement screen, and a written plan. No generic ultrasound-and-go treatment like elsewhere."
Senthil V.Bagayam, Vellore - Aug 2026
"a school teacher here from Arakkonam. Had chronic erb's palsy for over a year. What worked was pain-education plus graded exercise, not endless machines. Now I sleep through the night and go for morning walks pain-free."
Ganesh S.Arakkonam, Vellore - Aug 2025
"Online consultation option saved me a lot of travel time. Video assessment for my erb's palsy, followed by a personalised video-guided home program. Weekly WhatsApp check-ins. Feels like premium care at an affordable Vellore price."
Manoj G.Chittoor, Vellore - Feb 2026
"Sports injury from local cricket — my erb's palsy was ruining my season. The return-to-sport protocol here is elite: force-plate testing, criteria-based progression, sport-specific drills. Back on the field in 6 weeks, stronger than before."
