Swallowing Disorders

Service Description

When you swallow, food and liquid move from your mouth through the esophagus, a tube that connects to the stomach. Dysphagia is the medical term for difficulty swallowing and is often described as the sensation of food or liquid “getting stuck” in the throat or chest. While swallowing difficulties can be caused by many relatively benign conditions, persistent symptoms require medical attention.
