How do you manage neuropathy and loss of balance and walking ability?

I do have peripheral neuropathy and I have a balance problem. Working with a chiropractor for the first time and my x-ray show that I have scoliosis in my spine, which is causing me to have a bad balance along with my feet and legs always aching. I tried cheer yoga, and I developed too much pain in my legs. I guess I was really pushing it. I started using a cane when I take a walk and that has helped my balance. As others have said, staying active is the most important thing. At this point, I’m trying to find the right shoe for my issues

I saw a neurologist about two years ago who really helped me he gave me quite a series of test including a brain wave and a brain scan told me I have peripheral neurology and nothing else but I do have. He said part of a brain on the bottom right lacked oxygen at some point in time which probably contributes to my balance problem

Hoka brand shoes are a little expensive but are known to help people who have balance and sides and neuropathy. They have a wider base which helps with balance.
