Exclusive Services
We are proud to be able to provide several specialty services to our patients. Our goal is to help you meet your goals as effectively and efficiently as possible. We are constantly adding new tools to our clinical toolbox!
Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)
FEES is a cost-effective and convenient alternative to modified barium swallowing studies (MBSS) that are typically performed in hospitals. An endoscopic evaluation provides the imaging necessary to diagnose dysphagia, and develop patient-centered treatment plans to improve outcomes. No radiation exposure is required and no barium is used during the examination.
Videostroboscopy
Completing a stroboscopic evaluation of the voice allows the speech-language pathologist to view the function of the vocal folds in great detail. Results from this exam allow for a patient-centered treatment plan to improve vocal function to as close to your “normal” as possible.
Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT)
Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD) is the first speech treatment with level 1 evidence and established efficacy for treating voice and speech disorders in people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). LSVT LOUD has been shown to improve vocal loudness, articulation and speech intelligibility, intonation, and facial expression.
McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program (MDTP)
McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program (MDTP) is a systematic dysphagia rehabilitation program. It uses swallowing as an exercise and it works to rehabilitate the synergistic swallowing mechanism. MDTP incorporates principles of exercise science, and the focus is on restoring a more “normal” swallowing pattern using food and liquids as exercise.
Ampcare ESP
Ampcare ESP an effective treatment for dysphagia that includes electrical stimulation parameters paired with resistive exercises. ESP combines more than 60 years of research on electrical stimulation paired with exercise physiology to improve swallowing muscle contraction and improved airway protection.
