Ataxia is a neurological sign consisting of a lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements, including abnormalities in gait, speech changes and abnormalities in eye movements. Ataxia is a clinical manifestation that indicates dysfunction of the parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum. Ataxia may be limited to one side of the body, which is called hemiataxia. There are several possible causes for these patterns of neurological dysfunction. Dystaxia is a mild form of ataxia. Friedreich's ataxia has gait abnormalities as its most common symptom. The word comes from the Greek α- [a negative prefix] + -τάξις [order] = "lack of order."
Treatment BeterKlinic
BeterKliniek is the clinic for Integrative Medicine that bridges regular and non-regular medicine.
An van Veen (physician) and Michael van Gils (therapist) look for the cause of a condition or disease. That is where the treatment starts otherwise, as people often say, it is 'carrying water to the sea'. We call this cause medicine. Sometimes it is also desirable to treat the symptoms (at the same time). We call this symptom medicine.
Chronic disorders often have their cause in epi- genetics. You can schedule a free informative telephone consultation (phone number 040-7117337 until 1 p.m.) at BeterKliniek to discuss your symptoms so that we can provide you with further advice.
