Dysphagia is the medical term for swallowing issues, which affect up to one-third of older adults. Our speech-language pathologists assist patients with this serious medical issue, treating feeding and swallowing issues.
Our speech-language pathologists implement treatments to improve neurological and muscular control while swallowing and address breathing issues causing dysphagia. When obstructions or control issues prevent normal swallowing functions, we introduce modified diets and assistive devices to ensure patients can swallow safely.
