Safe, Effective Swallowing with VitalStim Telehealth Therapy
Swallowing difficulties can impact nutrition, hydration, and overall quality of life. VitalStim therapy, an FDA-cleared neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) treatment, helps retrain the muscles responsible for safe swallowing.
At NeuroRehab & Speech Healers, we provide telehealth-guided VitalStim therapy for adults and children experiencing dysphagia due to stroke, neurological conditions, surgery, or injury. Using gentle electrical stimulation, our certified therapists strengthen and coordinate swallowing muscles to reduce choking, aspiration, and mealtime anxiety.
