The cerebellum is often called the brain’s “movement center,” controlling balance, coordination, fine motor skills, and posture. But damage to this small brain region — whether from stroke, tumor, injury, or neurodegeneration — can lead to life-altering symptoms.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the cerebellum’s function is linked to the Kidney, Liver, and Brain’s meridian system. When Qi (energy) and blood circulation are blocked in the head, it disrupts coordination and nerve signals.
Cerebellar Disorders – Common Signs:
- Unsteady walking (ataxia)
- Poor coordination or clumsiness
- Slurred speech
- Tremors or shaking hands
- Sudden dizziness or vertigo
- Difficulty with writing, buttoning, or daily motor tasks
What Causes Cerebellum Dysfunction?
- Stroke or mini-strokes (TIA) near the back of the brain
- Tumors pressing against cerebellar tissue
- Cerebellar atrophy due to age, alcohol abuse, or autoimmune diseases
- Genetic conditions like Ataxia
- Infections, inflammation, or injury
- Post-COVID-19 neurological complications
If you need support on:
- Stroke survivors with cerebellum damage
- Children with developmental balance issues
- Elderly patients with tremors and motor instability
- Patients with cerebellar ataxia and post-viral inflammation
Please consult with a qualified TCM practitioner to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
