Ataxia is a neurological condition that can affect coordination, balance, and movement. In many cases it is progressive, and it can be caused by a multitude of issues, including; genetic makeup, stroke, traumatic brain injury, toxins and medications, as well as other conditions that involve the cerebellum and pons.
The daily challenges that come with Ataxia can affect every area of life, and Verita Neuro aims to provide a compassionate approach to treatments we developed to make everyday a little easier for our patients.
What is Ataxia?
Ataxia is an umbrella term that describes the lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements – usually caused by cerebellar dysfunction. The cerebellum is the area of the brain that is responsible for coordination and fine motor skills. Issues with your cerebellum can lead to slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, tremors, spasms, and impaired balance, as well as other symptoms. In severe cases, Ataxia can also lead to neuropathy, vision problems, respiratory problems, and neuropathic pain.

Treatments for Ataxia at Verita Neuro
Stem Cell Treatment
Using only fresh Stem Cells with maximum potency, our Stem Cells have demonstrated both neuroprotective and regenerative properties, assisting in the repair of damaged neurons. Our patients have reported benefits including;
- Increased mobility
- Better balance and coordination (improvements are visible in Berg Balance Scale (BBS))
- Improved fine and gross motor skills
- Improved speech and cognition
Stem Cell Types for Ataxia Treatment
Our expert Stem Cell team will work with you to decide whether hAFS (human amniotic Stem Cells) or MSCs (mesenchymal Stem Cells) will offer a better chance of recovery based on your individual case and needs. Both cell types are multipotent, plastic-adherent, and can differentiate into various cell types, including bone, fat, and cartilage.
Your doctor will discuss your options and the best treatment approach for your individual case. All of our treatments are paired with intensive and ongoing rehabilitation to offer you the best chance of recovery.
