Ataxia Spinal

Spinal cord ataxia is a condition characterized by loss of motor coordination and difficulty performing motor tasks. This condition occurs due to problems with the spinal cord or brain and can be caused by a variety of causes, including nervous system diseases, metabolic disorders, and spinal cord injuries.

Symptoms of spinal cord ataxia may include: dizziness, loss of balance, tremors, incoordination, poor posture, and difficulty walking. Patients may also have difficulty performing simple daily tasks such as dressing, eating, and walking up stairs.

Treatment for spinal cord ataxia depends on the cause of the disease and includes drug therapy, physical rehabilitation, and surgery. In the case of an infectious disease, antibiotics are used, in case of vascular diseases - anticoagulants, as well as treatment of traumatic injuries. If there is a metabolic defect, special diets and vitamins may be prescribed. In addition, if the condition is severe, spinal stimulators and Botox therapy may be required.

The main cause of spinal cord ataxia is various diseases of the spine that limit the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the central and peripheral nerves of the spinal cord, which can also damage the spinal structures. To treat spinal lateral cord ataxia, it is necessary to slow down the process of compression of the nervous structures of the spine by eliminating the cause of the deformities. Among them are: fibromyositis, deformation of the lumbar spine (lordosis), Arnold-Chiari anomalies. In addition to medication and rehabilitation therapy, surgical correction is often required.
