Balance, not just pain
The symptom people mention last
When patients from Solon and the surrounding countryside describe neuropathy, they usually start with the burning or the numbness. Balance comes up later, almost as an aside, and it is often the thing that matters most.
Sensation in the feet is a large part of how your brain knows where the ground is. When that signal fades, balance quietly starts depending on vision instead, which is why the first noticeable problems tend to happen in the dark, on uneven ground, or on stairs. In rural areas with gravel, farmyards and outbuildings, that shows up sooner than it does on flat pavement.
This matters because a fall changes things in a way that pain does not. Balance and gait are part of the baseline assessment for exactly that reason, and targeted balance work is often the least glamorous and most valuable part of the plan.
What the assessment involves
What gets checked
The assessment, in short
Measured at the first visit
Sensation across the feet and hands, vibration and position sense, reflexes and muscle strength, balance and gait, and circulation to the extremities. Plus your history, medications and any bloodwork you already have.
Why it gets repeated
Because memory is unreliable about slow change. Retesting against your baseline turns the question from how you feel today into whether the numbers have moved, and gives us a defined point to continue, change tack or stop.
Diabetes and prediabetes cause most of the cases we see. Others include chemotherapy, B12 deficiency, thyroid disease, kidney disease, alcohol, autoimmune conditions and nerve compression. Where the cause is treatable, addressing it is the first move.

Questions
Solon patient questions
I mostly worry about falling. Can you help with that?
Balance is part of the assessment and part of the plan. When sensation in the feet drops, balance leans more heavily on vision and the vestibular system, and targeted work makes a measurable difference to stability.
How many appointments will it take?
It runs as a course rather than one visit, with a retest built in. We agree the schedule with you at the consultation and tell you what the commitment is before you start.
Can neuropathy be reversed?
Partly, sometimes. Where the cause is treatable and nerves are irritated rather than destroyed, improvement is realistic. Where fibres have been lost, they do not come back. Pain, balance and rate of progression are usually where the gains are.

No. Call (319) 380-4380 or use the contact page and we will find a time that suits the drive.
