Any clinics, world wide, that deal with peripheral neuropathy?

I'm going to start by saying this is only my opinion based on my own research. Sadly if you were to do a Google search most of what would pop up are dubious at best (call me a skeptic since there is no cure for neuropathy). There are neuropathy clinics that are more trust worthy and can provide some form of relief but I wouldn't call it a cure. The types of neuropathy clinics I would put my trust in are ones associated with major universities or health organizations and not the ones that send you emails, pop up in your search or newspapers, magazines and other advertisements.
One of the better ones that comes to mind is the Neuropathic Therapy Center at Loma Linda University (https://lluh.org/services/neuropathic-therapy-center). @leslierh started a discussion on the facility here:

Just a random comment from someone that has “Peripheral Neuropathy”. Fortunately, my condition / symptoms are very mild compared to most of the posts I see people posting about in this discussion community.
That said, it’s probably not particularly surprising, that there are a number of different “types” of PN. Some “types” have causes that have been identified, named and have specific treatment plans that can be pursued. Others haven’t been, so can’t be and fall into an “IDIOPATHIC” (= nobody knows) category.
I just recently attended a webinar put on by “The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy” (FPN) that I personally found very informative in terms of all the various “types”. Particularly, the part of the session at the end, after the Doctor (that had made her presentation), where she answered questions that the FPN host asked (on behalf of attendees).
It’s a 1 hour long session, but I think anyone just starting to try to understand what PN is, and even people that are currently suffering from any of PN’s “types”, would find interesting … and hopefully might even be relevant to their own situations.
Your mileage may vary, but here is a web link to a replay of the webinar that I'm describing, that I believe should work to see the replay.

PS: If you’re not aware of the FPN site, you might find other webinars of interest that they’ve posted at this weblink { https://www.foundationforpn.org/past-webinars }.
e.g. this one from April on "pain management". My symptoms are "IDIOPATHIC", much milder and don't involve pain so I haven't even watched it myself yet, but plan to { https://www.foundationforpn.org/events/emerging-options-for-neuropathic-pain-management/ }
