The first step in treating peripheral neuropathy is to address any contributing causes such as infection, toxin exposure, medication-related toxicity, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, or compression that can lead to neuropathy.
Correcting an underlying condition often can result in the neuropathy resolving on its own as the nerves recover or regenerate.
Peripheral nerves can regenerate axons as long as the nerve cell has not died, which may lead to functional recovery over time.
