VitalStim® Therapy

Abby Tullos, our Speech Pathologist has been recently certified in VitalStim® Therapy. As of August 21, 2006, all three locations of Physicians' Choice Physical Therapy are proud to introduce their use of VitalStim® Therapy.

VitalStim® Therapy is an active therapy program to re-educate and strengthen muscles atrophied from the effects of dysphagia. VitalStim® is the only surface muscle stimulation system cleared by the FDA for the treatment of debilitating effects of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Results have been compelling in both the adult and pediatric patient population and interest throughout the world is growing rapidly with now over 5000 Speech and Language Pathologists incorporating this therapy into their practices.

We believe that this can help your patients to improve their quality of life, both young and old. It's the best hope for a condition that robs so many patients of their ability to enjoy life- free from PEG tube dependency and fear from not being able to swallow! Give us a call if your patient can benefit from this VitalStim® Therapy.
