Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment - Is Peripheral Neuropathy Curable?
Is Peripheral Neuropathy Curable?
One of the most frequent questions we get asked is a simple "Is Peripheral Neuropathy Curable?". Many people suspect that they are experiencing the early signs of peripheral neuropathy (PN) and want to know what is available for Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment, and to what level will it work.
Obviously, everybody's situation, level of progression and body chemistry is different, so there is no "one size fits all" answer to this question. That being said, there are some standards and processes that apply, and can in almost all cases help. That help CAN be more than just a reduction in symptoms. It CAN be as an effective as the regeneration and strengthening of the nerves damaged by the Peripheral Neuropathy.
So if regeneration of nerves damaged by PN is your definition of a cure, then yes it can be cured if caught early enough and treated properly. If the damage has been left untreated for a long time then a full cure is much more difficult, BUT is Peripheral Neuropathy reversible as it pertains to symptoms and can previously damaged nerves be regenerated to some extent, however long the disease has been in the body? Most definitely. In it's simplest terms, however long the disease has been in the body, relief from Peripheral Neuropathy symptoms is available.

2. Physical Therapy
