Unfortunately, no: It is inherited and can only be managed after it's onset. If you are worried about it, there is some genetic testing that can tell you if you have one or more of the 40 different genes that cause it.

No: Rehabilitation helps people with CMT neuropathy maintain the ability to walk through the use of assistive devices or braces, shoes for comfort, work accomodation requests, and maintaining hope or dignity for the long road. Safety is important to maintain the lifestyle you choose.
