**âI used to start to lean ahead because I was afraid I was going to tip over.â**
Thatâs what walking the dog felt like for Merlin before he started our neuropathy program.
Now, he says his balance is much better. He can feel pressure in his feet and toes that he couldnât feel before, and heâs more comfortable when he takes the dog out. Heâs still carefulâand heâs honest that things arenât completely back to normalâbut heâs noticed a meaningful difference.
When you canât trust what your feet are telling you, even an ordinary walk can feel uncertain. Weâre grateful Merlin shared what has changed for him.
If numbness or poor balance is making you second-guess your steps, **schedule a neuropathy evaluation at Active Health Clinics:** (515) 227-7491
