Dysphagia (Swallowing) Disorders
Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing due to various medical conditions that damage sensation or weaken muscle strength or cause dis-coordination of the muscles involved in swallowing.
Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD)
VCD is caused by the dis-coordinated and/or incomplete opening of the vocal cords, resulting in symptoms such as chronic cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, "wheezing", light-headedness, and difficulty swallowing.
Myofunctional (Tongue Thrust) Disorders
Tongue Thrust is caused by abnormal pressure on the tongue against the teeth during swallowing, resulting in problems with articulation and dental misalignment.
