Nerve Center

At NYU Langone’s Nerve Center, we provide compassionate, comprehensive treatment for people who have disabilities resulting from cranial or peripheral nerve injuries or defects, whether you have been born with a congenital problem or have had an injury as a child or adult.

Our team of experts in hand surgery, microsurgery, and micro-neurosurgery evaluates each person to design a treatment plan that meets your needs. In addition, we collaborate closely with NYU Langone specialists in neurology, neurosurgery, rehabilitation, and radiology to deliver comprehensive care.

Our Specialties and Services

We treat a broad range of conditions affecting the nerves due to cranial or peripheral injury or defect. These include:

• facial nerve palsy or paralysis, which are facial nerve disorders affecting the muscles of the face
• brachial plexopathy, or injury to the brachial plexus, the network of nerves that sends signals from your spine to your shoulder, arm, and hands
• compression neuropathy, which occurs when nerves become compressed (the most common form is carpal tunnel syndrome)
• post-traumatic peripheral nerve pathology, which involves damage to your peripheral nerves, often causing weakness, numbness, and pain, usually affecting the hands and feet
