What can you expect?
- Your results will depend on what is causing your neuropathy.
- If your neuropathy is due to a treatable condition (like diabetes), improving the condition might result in stopping the neuropathy or preventing it from getting worse.
- If the underlying cause of the neuropathy can’t be treated, then the goal is to manage the symptoms of neuropathy and improve your quality of life.
