Suggest Treatment For Vertigo With Nerve Damage In Leg

Vertigo attack in Jan., 2011. Recovered, but since then my local neurologist performed a test on the lower part of my legs, which had been feeling weak since the dizziness. He said that because there had been nerve damage, nothing could be done. This is interfering with my equilibrium. Was he right?
