Who Can Benefit from VitalStim® Therapy?

Swallowing disorders, or dysphagia, affect people of all ages and can arise from a variety of medical conditions. At Autumn Oak Speech, Voice & Hearing, we are proud to offer VitalStim® Therapy, an advanced treatment that uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to help patients regain safe and effective swallowing. But who can benefit from this innovative therapy? 

Ideal Candidates for VitalStim® Therapy

  • Stroke-related dysphagia

  • Neurological conditions

  • Aging-related swallowing issues

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

How VitalStim® Therapy Helps

Strengthens swallowing muscles and improves coordination. When combined with speech therapy techniques, it can accelerate recovery and enhance long-term swallowing function.  If you or a loved one is experiencing swallowing difficulties, our team is here to help.
