Suspected : Suspected nerve injuries that result in muscle loss (atrophy), sensory loss and weakness should be evaluated. A primary care doctor (family practice or internal medicine) can be a starting point, and that doctor may refer cases to a neuromuscular neurologist or a sports medicine specialist. These doctors can identify if the problem is being caused by a nerve injury, which nerve is injured, may be able to find ways to repair the damage (usually with the help of a surgeon), or may be able to recommend therapy to improve function.
