Diabetic Neuropathy in Arlington, TX: How Rehabilitation Can Help Balance, Strength and Comfort

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage caused by long-term high blood sugar. It most often affects the feet and legs first and can make walking, balance, and everyday activities harder. Managing blood sugar with your physician is the foundation of care, and physical rehabilitation can help you stay strong, steady, and active.

Common symptoms

• Numbness, tingling, burning, or pins-and-needles in the feet or hands.

• Reduced ability to feel temperature, pressure, or small cuts.

• Muscle weakness in the feet and ankles.

• Poor balance and a higher risk of falls, especially in low light.

How rehabilitation can help

• Balance and gait training to lower fall risk.

• Strengthening exercises for the feet, ankles, hips, and core.

• Electrical muscle stimulation (E-stim) to support muscle activation and circulation.

• Mobility work to keep joints moving comfortably.

• A home exercise plan you can follow between visits.

Our physical rehabilitation program builds these elements into a plan that fits your goals and current ability, and your progress is measured and documented.

Working with your doctor

Rehabilitation is a complement to medical care, not a replacement for it. Keep your physician informed, check your feet daily, and see your doctor promptly for any foot wound, blister, color change, or sudden increase in symptoms.
