VITAL STIM PLUS
Vital Stim is a non-invasive therapy for treating dysphaia (difficulty swallowing). It is the only technology approved by the FDA for restoring swallowing function in individuals with oropharyngeal dysphagia. It is backed by multiple clinical studies. The lasting effect of Vital Stim was validated in a three-year study submitted to the FDA, which showed the improvement in swallowing function was maintained throughout this time. Other published studies have shown the positive and lasting impact of Vital Stim in groups where previous attempts at treatment with conventional therapy had failed.
Vital Stim therapy uses small electrical currents to stimulate the muscles responsible for swallowing allowing for re-education of the muscles. This treatment modality will be provided by our highly trained speech-language pathologist certified to provide this type of therapy.
