Since MP is rare, there is often a co-existing issue that either renders the nerve vulnerable and/or impedes healing. Superficial nerves, like the skin, are designed to withstand certain extremes of challenge, and to repair effectively when the trauma causes a wound or other damage of a moderate magnitude.  Co-existing conditions that can contribute to the development of MP at a “root-cause” level include: unknown diabetes, unknown neuropathy(ies), deficiencies of key nutrients such as Vitamins B1 and B12, and/or toxicity with known neuro-toxins including alcohol, lead (Pb), fluoride, and certain myco-toxins (mold/fungal-based toxins).

Treatment involves identifying the causal factors, nutritional support and proper yoga or other routines geared toward stretch, strength, awareness and balance.
