Dysphagia affects a person’s ability to safely swallow food and liquids, commonly after stroke, neurological disease, or surgery.
Concerns:
- Coughing, choking, or gagging during meals.
- Risk of aspiration (food or liquid entering the airway).
- Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or managing textures.
How We Can Help:
- Comprehensive swallowing assessments to identify risks.
- Exercises to strengthen oral and throat muscles.
- Recommendations for safe food textures and positioning.
- Guidance for caregivers to support safe, independent eating.
