I can't speak to physical therapy, as my expertise is acupuncture, but it has been found in research that acupuncture, and electroacupuncture to can relieve neuropathic pain following total brachial plexus avulsion (Zhou et al, 2014). It would make sense, through my experience, that the acupuncture would help open the blockage in the area so that you are able to return to your original range of motion and, more importantly, your life. Zhou, J., Gu, Y., Zhang, S. and Tang, H. (2014). Electroacupuncture attenuates neuropathic pain after brachial plexus injury. Neural Regeneration Research, 9(14), p.1365. READ MORE
