hThanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Yes,charcot Marie tooth disease is a hereditary condition which usually progresses slowly and is treated based on the symptoms developed as there is no complete cure for it till date.

I would advice you to consult a good orthopedician and get it evaluated. Physiotherapy may be required based on what condition it.Surgery may or maybe not require based on the foot deformity.

Have a good nutritious diet with ascorbic acid also .Have a healthy life .
If systemic conditions of diabetes is present,start the treatment for it.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
