VitalStim
 An
estimated 15 million Americans are afflicted
with dysphagia, a condition that causes
discomfort or difficulty swallowing. At its most
severe - when patients entirely lose their
ability to eat - dysphagia can profoundly
disrupt a life.
-
Common among stroke survivors, patients with
neurological disorders like Parkinson's Disease,
and patients with head and neck cancer
-
Disproportionately affects the elderly; an
estimated half of all rest home residents suffer
-
Success with existing treatments has been
limited at best
VitalStim® Therapy is the first proven
treatment for dysphagia. It's the only dysphagia
therapy backed by compelling clinical data and
cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
VitalStim Therapy uses small electrical currents to
stimulate the muscles responsible for swallowing. At
the same time, we help patients "re-educate" their
muscles through rehabilitation therapy.
- Based on clinical electrical stimulation
- Proven safe
- Remarkably successful in real-world use
- Better-and faster-results than any
traditional therapy
