Dysphagia
is difficulty in safety eating/swallowing disorders. Dysphagia can occur at any age, resulting from structural damage (mouth, head, and neck) and neurological impairment (i.e., stroke, head trauma, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, spinal cord injury, ALS, etc.). The SLPs provide recommendations on safe swallowing and appropriate diet consistencies.
If you or your loved ones have recently experienced swallowing difficulties such as sensation of food caught in throat, pain while swallowing, coughing, or choking, contact us for more information.
