VitalStim Therapy
Arrow Rehabilitation offer VitalStim therapy for people who may have Dysphagia, or difficulty with swallowing. This diagnosis is a sorely neglected medical disorder that impacts as many as 15 million Americans, as well as approximately one million annually receiving the diagnosis of the condition. Dysphagia is derived from the Greek word “PHAGEIN”, meaning, “to eat”.
VitalStim Therapy is the only Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulations (NMES) technology cleared by the FDA to restore the swallowing function to patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia. In clinical and real-world settings, VitalStim Therapy has been proven safe and effective. It has successfully treated patients of every age and etiology, even those whose dysphagia has advanced beyond the six-month period of spontaneous recovery. Passing a small current through specially designed electrodes placed on the neck performs VitalStim Therapy. The electricity stimulates inactive or atrophied swallowing muscles.
Alla Zverinsky, Speech therapist at Arrow Rehabilitation is certified to administer the VitalStim machine, in addition to other treatment modalities to help re-educate the muscles.
