Dysphagia: Advanced Swallowing Diagnostics and Care
One of the most critical and often overlooked areas of speech pathology is the treatment of Dysphagia, or swallowing disorders. The exact same complex network of nerves and muscles used to speak is also responsible for safely moving food and liquid from the mouth to the stomach.
If this system is compromised by illness, injury, or aging, individuals are at a high risk of choking or aspiration (food or liquid entering the lungs). The clinical pathologists at daar provide expert swallowing assessments to ensure mealtimes remain safe and enjoyable.
- Anatomical Evaluations: We assess the strength, timing, and coordination of your swallowing muscles.
- Diet Modification Strategy: We guide patients through safe consistencies (e.g., thickened liquids or purées) while actively rehabilitating the swallow function to upgrade their diet as quickly and safely as possible.
- Swallow Preservations: For patients undergoing treatments like head and neck radiation, we provide preventative exercises to maintain swallowing muscles throughout their medical care.
