Electrical Stimulation is an innovative therapy for patients suffering from a swallowing disorder called dysphagia. The treatment offers alternative outcomes to traditional therapy and has shown dramatic improvements in the lifestyles of those with swallowing disorders. VitalStim is currently the only technology approved by the FDA to restore swallowing functions to patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia. VitalStim is a non invasive, painless treatment that uses a small electrical current to stimulate inactive or atrophied muscles used for swallowing. The treatment is prescribed by a doctor and administered by a trained specialist.

The Speech & Swallow Center is proud to offer this exciting new treatment. For more information, please visit http://www.vitalstimtherapy.com or contact our office at 231-348-7777.
