The proper treatment can be linked to the cause of the neuropathy, but the general treatments from your doc will probably be very similar to what most of us do for our PN.
There are over 75 different meds used to treat PN and related pain. Knowing the cause can help there. Proper diet/nutrition, exercise, vitamins, supplements and meds, are the only known treatment. There is not, as yet, a cure- so those you know, who have had Sx lessened or reversed, may have followed a program of meds & supplements.
Sadly, what works for one person- probably won't for another.
Its an individual program you have to develop thru trial & error. Ask others what they do & use, as a starting point. Learn as much as you can, keep up with developments & new treatments in the medical field.
Be wary of advertisements and claims & if it sounds too good to be true.......it probably is bogus.
