For Numbness, Tingling, and Balance Problems in Your Feet
If neuropathy has made you feel unsteady… cautious… or unsure of your footing… You’re not alone
Many people we see notice:
And often alongside that:
These changes can feel subtle at first…
But over time, they can begin to affect something deeply important: your independence.
Why Neuropathy Affects Your Balance
Neuropathy isn’t just about pain or numbness. One of the biggest issues is something less obvious:
Your brain loses clear communication with your feet.
Your nerves act like sensors.
They constantly tell your brain:
When those signals weaken, your brain loses critical information. That’s when people begin to notice:
Why Many Neuropathy Treatments Fall Short
Most treatments for neuropathy focus on managing symptoms… not improving communication.
You may have tried:
Some may help temporarily. But they often don’t address the underlying issue: how well your nerves are actually signaling.
A Different Approach to Neuropathy Treatment in Baltimoreg
At deBorja Physical Therapy, we use a different approach focused on nerve function.
Instead of just managing symptoms, we focus on:

Why This Approach Is Different in Baltimore
Most providers offering nerve stimulation devices treat it as a standalone, device-only service.
At deBorja Physical Therapy, your nerve stimulation treatment can be combined with hands-on therapies that support the same goal from a different angle:
This combination is not something currently offered together by other neuropathy treatment providers in the Baltimore area.

Neuropathy Treatment FAQ
Can neuropathy improve?
In certain cases, yes. It depends on the cause, how long symptoms have been present, and how your nervous system responds. For many people, the goal is not necessarily to ‘reverse everything,’ but to create meaningful improvements in how you feel and function day to day — less burning or tingling, improved awareness of your feet, feeling steadier walking, more confidence on stairs, and being able to stay active without constantly thinking about your symptoms.
Does the treatment hurt?
No. The treatment is designed to be gentle and well-tolerated. Most people describe the sensation as light tapping, gentle pulsing, or mild tingling. It is not meant to feel aggressive or overwhelming. If anything feels too strong, we adjust immediately. Your comfort is always part of the process.
How long does it take?
This depends on your individual situation. Neuropathy often develops gradually over time, so meaningful changes usually require consistency. Some people notice early changes within a few visits. Others need more time. That’s why we start with a consultation and trial treatment so you can see how your body responds before making any decisions about ongoing care.
Can this cure my neuropathy?
No. We do not claim to cure neuropathy. Neuropathy can have many different causes, and not all cases are reversible. What we focus on is helping your nervous system function more effectively so you may feel steadier, more comfortable, and more confident in your daily life.
What symptoms do people usually come in with?
Numbness or reduced sensation, tingling, burning, or ‘pins and needles,’ feeling like they are walking on cotton, balance issues or unsteadiness, difficulty trusting their feet, and fear of falling. Some are still active but more cautious. Others feel like their world is gradually getting smaller.
How is this different from medication?
Medication may help reduce discomfort for some people, but it does not directly improve how nerves communicate. This approach focuses on supporting nerve signaling and communication. It is not a replacement for medical care, but may be used alongside your existing care.
How many visits will I need?
It varies depending on how long you’ve had symptoms, the severity of nerve involvement, and how your body responds. Some people notice changes early. Others need more consistency. That’s why we begin with a trial visit before recommending a plan.
Will I know after one visit if this can help?
Possibly. Some people notice increased sensation, reduced discomfort, or feeling more stable after the first session. Others may need a few sessions before changes become noticeable. The first visit helps us understand how your body responds and whether this approach is appropriate for you.
Is this right for diabetic neuropathy?
It may be appropriate for many individuals with diabetic neuropathy. Blood sugar management remains essential, but some people seek additional support for symptoms like numbness, burning, or balance changes. We evaluate each case individually. Learn more on our diabetic peripheral neuropathy page.
Is this right for chemotherapy-related neuropathy?
It may be helpful for some people experiencing neuropathy after chemotherapy. Many in this situation are looking for ways to improve sensation, balance, and comfort after treatment. We assess your specific history to determine if this approach is appropriate.
What if I’ve been told nothing can be done?
Many people come to us after hearing that. While neuropathy can be complex and not always reversible, that does not mean nothing can be done to support your comfort, balance, and function. Our focus is on what may still be possible.
Do I need to stop seeing my doctor?
No. This is not a replacement for your physician or medical care. Neuropathy often has underlying medical causes, so staying connected with your healthcare team is important. Our role is to provide a conservative, non-invasive option focused on function and quality of life.
Is this covered by insurance?
This program is typically private pay. During your consultation, we’ll clearly explain costs and options so you can make an informed decision, without pressure. Many people choose this type of care because they are looking for an approach that goes beyond what is typically covered.
What makes someone a good candidate?
You may be a good candidate if your symptoms are significantly affecting your balance or confidence, you want a non-invasive option, you are open to a different approach, and you value personalized, one-on-one care.
What makes someone not a good candidate?
This may not be the right fit if you are looking for a guaranteed cure, want a one-visit solution, or are not open to a hands-on approach.
What is the goal of the program?
The goal is to help you feel more confident and capable in your body. That may include better balance, improved awareness of your feet, less discomfort, and greater confidence walking and moving. Results vary, but the focus is on helping you increase and maintain independence and quality of life.
What happens at the consultation?
We discuss your symptoms and history, assess your movement and balance, identify areas of nerve involvement, and provide a trial treatment. You leave with a clearer understanding of your options.
What if I’m nervous about investing in a full program?
That’s completely understandable, especially if you’ve tried other treatments without success. That’s why we start with a single visit. You can experience the treatment, ask questions, and decide what feels right for you — before making any larger decisions.
Next Step
