* Participant will fill out a questionnaire to assess participant's nerve function. This process will take approximately 2.5 minutes.
* Investigator will measure participant's balance, sensation, and skin blood flow (SBF).
* After completing the tests, participant will be randomly assigned by the computer to either the treatment group or control group.
* The treatment group will receive a passive vibration treatment for 15 minutes twice a week for 4 weeks.
* The control group will not receive any treatment and they will continue their usual lifestyle.
* Visit 2 through 8:
* The treatment group will receive a passive vibration for 15 minutes followed by SBF measurement.
* The control group will continue their usual lifestyle.
