But there are some strategies that you can take to be sure that you're doing everything you possibly can about this. Number one is you've got to make sure you have an accurate underlying diagnosis. Don't fall for online scams regarding neuropathy or loss of sensation or you're going to reverse this or reverse that because you need an accurate diagnosis first. That's got to be number one so see a competent physician. The second thing is that if you are afflicted with changes in proprioception there are some things that we know can be effective.

The other things that we have found to be very helpful is appropriate neurostimulation. vibratory therapy etc. So don't give up hope! The reason I'm doing this video today is it seems to be more commonly noticed as the Colder Weather hits and I don't know if that's a combination of just temperature changes or what's called vasoconstriction or blood vessels closing down.
