Swallowing Disorders

Our Clinic provides expert personnel and state-of-the-art equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders.

Swallowing problems (dysphagia) can occur at any point in the process of moving food, liquid, or saliva from the mouth through the throat (pharynx), into the esophagus and to the stomach. These problems may result in poor nutrition, dehydration or aspiration (accidental ingestion of food particles or fluids into the lungs).

Dysphagia reduces quality of life. Swallowing disorders are often accompanied by voice impairment (dysphonia) as well. The central goal of the Clinic is to provide comprehensive evaluation and management of dysphagia and related disorders and improve quality of life.
