Do you experience….

  • Difficulty eating your favorite foods and drinks?
  • Frequent coughing or choking during meals?
  • Foods or pills getting stuck in your throat?

If so, the Carter Swallowing Center offers the most advanced treatments and tools to help you overcome your swallowing difficulty and get back to eating and drinking what you enjoy.

Many people with swallowing problems (called dysphagia) have the potential for improvement. And for those with dysphagia, even small gains can mean a big difference in quality of life.

Jen Carter, a Denver speech pathologist who specializes in dysphagia, uses multiple state-of- the-art treatments available at very few facilities in the Rocky Mountain region. Some of these new therapies include:

        • Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) VitalStim” therapy
        • McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program (MDTP)
        • Surface electromyography (sEMG) biofeedback
        • Myofascial release
        • Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT®)
        • Expiratory Muscle Strength Trainer (EMST)

She has helped improve the lives of people with a wide range of swallowing disorders.

Some patients with severe dysphagia who could not eat, drink, or even manage their saliva prior to treatment have been able to have their feeding tubes removed and return to eating. Others with only mild dysphagia have been able to eat and drink whatever they wanted after only a few treatments.

Medicare and Private Insurance accepted. Insurance accepted.
