Overview of treatment for peripheral neuropathy

The good news

Provided the nerve cell is still alive, peripheral nerve cells have a remarkable ability to regenerate themselves. Symptoms can usually be controlled by various means, but the real cure is to prevent new damage by identifying and eliminating what is causing the neuropathy.

Treatment plan should include:

(1) Symptomatic Therapies.    Counter and control inflammation - provide antioxidants to counter any oxidants produced by immune system AND control inflammatory reaction;

Mainstream Medicine

AlternativeTherapies

(2) Remove the source of damage to peripheral nerves - this involves examining the clues to narrow down the possibilities and then addressing those likely causes. E.g.detoxifying the body of microbes in nerve myelin/axons and/or any other substances that induce production of oxidants that can damage nerves (E.g. toxic chemicals); rebuild cartilage that may be causing neural compression damage; address diabetes problem.

(3) Support healthy nerves and aid peripheral nerve regeneration;
