I would recommend a consult with a local PT to be more specific to your particular areas of weakness. Good luck.

You may see a Physiatrist, which as you know is a medical doctor, who may refer you to see a Physical Therapist. The PT would then establish your specific rehabilitation program of Neuromuscular activities which may include exercise, balance, proprioception, kinesthetic awareness, modalities, manual interventions and therapeutic activities.
