Peripheral neuropathy

If a prolonged procedure or immobility is expected, appropriate measures (such as padding vulnerable areas) can be taken beforehand to reduce the risk of nerve problems.

Some people have a hereditary predisposition for neuropathy. Such people need to be especially careful to limit alcohol and manage other medical problems closely.

All people can reduce the risk of neuropathy through a balanced diet, drinking alcohol in moderation, and maintaining good control of diabetes and other medical problems, if present.
