What is the cause of loss of balance?
Patient: I have trouble with balance-I don t have painful feet as some acquaintenances who felt I have neuropathy: At times I do have a lack of feeling in my feet. Took a several week treatment with a foot vibrating machine and also a rebuilder(water to stimulate feet for nerve activation) which may have helped balance somewhat. In addition an electro-magnetic delivery system connected from my knees to the bottom of my feet; which resulted in no perceptable change. Doctor: HelloThank you for posting your query.
