I was contacted and asked for a recommendation for an acupuncturist that can treat her family member.   Does any have advice about success, treatment  frequency and length of treatment  for this condition?  I would like to pass on any info I can to her.  Also, anyone want to take on this case?

Hi Lorne,

Thanks for getting back to me yesterday. I've been looking around for a good definition of ataxia, here's a link to the wikipedia page. Our family has the SCA 2 variety of this lovely disorder. The biggest problems are really poor balance (all the time) and slurred speech (usually in the evening).

Thanks for shopping this around, I hope something can be done!
