Dysphagia Treatment

VitalStim Electrotherapy is designed to help treat dysphagia by using external electrical stimulation to re-educate the throat muscles needed for swallowing. It’s recommended for patients that have discomfort from symptoms such as coughing/clearing throat after swallowing, decreased voice quality (wet, hoarse, weak), recurring chest infections, and more.

VitalStim Therapy Packages

VitalStim Plus therapy provides dysphagia patients with the treatment they deserve and therapists with the support they need. Research shows that the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) relieves patients of the emotional, physical, and financial burdens of feeding tubes-allowing a return to normalcy. It also creates an opportunity for therapists to not only manage their patients' difficulties, but also to overcome them.

Quality Electrodes

Electric stimulation therapy is a great way to rehab the throat muscles and VitalStim Electrodes are made with quality materials to ensure the most effective use. The unique construction of the electrodes allows them to safely transmit the high current load and density of the portable swallowing therapy device. The VitalStim machine electrodes are reliable, conductive, and have no internal electrode separation. The electrodes conform to the neck for a comfortable fit and provide excellent adhesion with gentle removal after use.
