Share to us the treatments that had helped you resolve your symptoms of Ataxia.
Haven’t seen any posts about alternative therapies (acupuncture, etc.) Please forgive me if I missed any information.
I’ve reached the stage where Speech Therapy might be helpful…speech is notably worsening.
I haven’t tried acupuncture for ataxia symptoms (I’d really like something to alleviate pain)…but I did try it decades ago (showing my age
) for PMT and couldn’t tolerate 'the needles’![]()
I did try a course of ‘Balance Therapy’…it was a group session and very sociable. I cope with mainly Vestibular issues…so it was challenging at times.
Currently..I’m giving ‘chair yoga’ a go..mainly because I need gentle exercise due to osteoarthritis.
Sorry ..I’m not much help by way of recommendations
If you have an ‘enquiring mind’…you might find this link interesting..
I tried acupuncture for severe leg cramps (nothing else worked). It took several weeks but it helped. Now the cramps are back again…just need to remind myself to be grateful it helped at all!
Thanks for your reply,
If you haven’t already tried medication, there are suggestions in this link..it’s likely others have been added since this was first issued.
Other than that..specific stretching exercises could be helpful…seek advice from a Physio.
