A Spark of Nerve-TBPI Documentary

A Spark of Nerve (a documentary film on Brachial Plexus Injuries)

A Spark of Nerve

A critical and potentially life-changing documentary!  Watching A Spark of Nerve could make the difference between an unnecessary future of life-long paralysis or the vital return of restorative movement.  The powerful and emotional stories of three paralyzed trauma patients illustrate why it’s critical not to take the “wait and see” medical advice often given to nerve injured patients, but to advocate for immediate treatment from one of the handful of specialists in nerve transfer surgery. A Spark of Nerve is a “must see” story of personal triumph and medical innovation! There is hope!
