If neuropathy has made you feel unsteady… cautious… or unsure of your footing… you’re not alone
Many people we see notice they're reaching for railings more often. Being extra careful on stairs or uneven ground. Feeling like their balance isn't what it used to be. And often alongside that… numbness, burning, tingling, a "walking on cotton" feeling.
These changes can feel subtle at first. But over time, they start to affect something deeply important: your independence.
Why does neuropathy affect my balance?
Neuropathy weakens the signals between your feet and your brain, so your brain loses track of where your feet are. Your nerves act like sensors. They constantly tell your brain where your feet are, how your weight is distributed, and how to stay balanced.
When those signals fade, people start to feel unsteady… hold onto support… avoid certain activities… and lose confidence in their own body.
Why haven't other neuropathy treatments worked for me?
Most neuropathy treatments manage symptoms rather than nerve signaling. You may have tried medications, creams, supplements, or a TENS unit. Some help for a while. But they often don't address how well your nerves are actually communicating.
What is the Advanced Nerve Restoration Program?
The Advanced Nerve Restoration Program is deBorja Physical Therapy's neuropathy treatment. It combines Stimpod NMS460 nerve stimulation with hands-on therapy, delivered one-on-one by Dr. Angie deBorja. It's offered two ways: in our Hampden office, or as an at-home device rental with in-office training and Zoom support.
How does the treatment work?
Treatment works in three steps: we find the affected nerves, stimulate them gently, and track how your balance and sensation respond.
STEP
01
Identify
We map and assess the nerves involved in balance and sensation.
STEP
02
Reactivate
We apply gentle stimulation to support nerve communication.
STEP
03
Build
Sessions are cumulative. Each one builds on the last, and as signaling improves, many people feel steadier and more confident.
What is the Stimpod NMS460?
The Stimpod NMS460 is an FDA-cleared nerve stimulation device. It's classified as a type of TENS device, but it also delivers a proprietary pulsed radiofrequency waveform that standard TENS units don't.
In our program, it's never used on its own. It's combined with hands-on treatment, chosen for what your body needs that day.
What Happens During Your First Visit
Your first visit is a 60-minute, one-on-one Neuropathy Evaluation & First Treatment, and it costs $260. It's designed to give you clarity and a real experience of the treatment before you decide anything.
During your visit, we will:

Choose in-office if you want hands-on care at every session. Choose at-home if you need frequent treatment between visits and like the flexibility of your own schedule.

Not sure which fits?
How is this different from other neuropathy treatment in Baltimore?
Most nerve-stimulation providers offer the device as a standalone service. Here, it's combined with hands-on therapies that support the same goal from a different angle:
And every session is one-on-one. No shared time, no aide-led care.
Who is this a good fit for, and who isn't?
This may be a good fit if you have numbness, tingling, or burning in your feet… feel unsteady or cautious walking… worry about falling… and want a non-invasive option with personalized, one-on-one care.
It may not be the right fit if you're looking for a guaranteed cure or a one-visit fix.
What results can I realistically expect?
Results vary from person to person, and we won't promise a set number of visits. Some people notice a change in the first session. Others build gradually, and that's normal. The sessions are cumulative, so consistency matters more than any single visit.
What many people report over time: better awareness of their feet, feeling more stable walking, less discomfort, and more confidence moving.
The goal isn't a cure. In Angie's words: "The goal is better quality of life, control of your mobility and independence, and minimizing your risk of needing long-term care or assisted living — and the ability to care for and be with your family."
I could actually feel my feet on the gas pedal driving home. — deBorja Physical Therapy patient. Individual experience; results vary.

FAQ
Can neuropathy improve?
In some cases, yes. It depends on the cause, how long you've had symptoms, and how your nervous system responds. For many people, the goal isn't to reverse everything. It's meaningful change in daily life: less burning or tingling, better awareness of your feet, steadier walking, and more confidence on stairs.
Can this cure my neuropathy?
No. We do not claim to cure neuropathy. Neuropathy has many causes, and not all cases are reversible. We focus on helping your nervous system work better, so you may feel steadier, more comfortable, and more confident.
Does the treatment hurt?
No. Most people describe it as light tapping, gentle pulsing, or mild tingling. If anything feels too strong, we adjust right away.
How many visits will I need?
It varies, so we don't promise a set number. It depends on how long you've had symptoms, how much nerve involvement there is, and how your body responds. Sessions are cumulative, and some people respond early while others build gradually. That's why we start with one trial visit before recommending a plan.
Will I know after one visit if this can help?
Possibly. Some people notice more sensation, less discomfort, or better stability after the first session. Others need a few sessions before changes show up, and that's not a sign to quit.
Do I need a prescription or a doctor's referral?
No. You can book directly, without a prescription or referral.
Is this covered by insurance?
The program is typically private pay. deBorja Physical Therapy is an out-of-network practice. We'll explain costs and options clearly at your consultation, so you can decide without pressure.
Do you see Medicare patients?
We can't provide therapy visits billed to Medicare. If you want your therapy covered by Medicare, you'll need to use your in-network Medicare therapy benefits with another provider.
How much does the full program cost?
It depends on whether you choose the in-office or at-home program. The first step is the $260 Neuropathy Evaluation & First Treatment. For program costs, call 410-835-4498 or book a free Discovery Call.
Is this right for diabetic neuropathy?
It may be a good fit for many people with diabetic neuropathy. Blood sugar management stays essential, but many people want added support for numbness, burning, or balance changes. We evaluate every case individually. diabetic peripheral neuropathy page
Is this right for chemotherapy-related neuropathy?
It may help some people with neuropathy after chemotherapy. We review your treatment history first to decide whether this approach is appropriate for you.
Do I need to stop seeing my doctor?
No. Neuropathy often has underlying medical causes, so staying connected with your healthcare team matters. Our role is a conservative, non-invasive option focused on function and quality of life.
What if I’ve been told nothing can be done?
Many people come to us after hearing exactly that. Neuropathy isn't always reversible, but that doesn't mean nothing can support your comfort, balance, and function. We focus on what may still be possible.
What if I'm nervous about committing to a full program?
That's completely understandable, especially if other treatments haven't worked. That's why we start with a single visit, or a free Discovery Call. You can experience the treatment and ask questions before deciding anything bigger.
