SWALLOWING DISORDERS

Swallowing disorders manifest themselves as difficulty swallowing foods or liquids, arising from the throat
or esophagus, ranging from mild difficulty to complete and painful blockage.

Swallowing disorders can be localized from peripheral nerve injuries or muscular problems or as a result
of a central nervous system diagnosis such as a stroke.

If your doctor recommends Speech therapy for dysphagia, coughing or choking with food we will do a
swallow evaluation and make appropriate recommendations as well as treat you to help you improve the
swallowing difficulties.
