On this episode I’m joined by Janice Osborne Dowdy, MS/CCC-SLP, CBIS - an SLP with NeuroRestorative/Sevita in Ashland, Kentucky.
We discuss a stroke patient of hers who was not progressing with traditional therapy. He was a practicing attorney who now had a trach, peg tube, and was drowning on his own secretions.
Hear how adding VitalStim therapy first changes his outlook on life and then his future as it soon facilitates his return to his practice.
Janice also talks about the aftereffects of Head and Neck Cancer treatments with regard to dysphasia – sometimes years after the actual occurrence.
We also talk about how important it is for therapists, patients, and families to learn about VitalStim and NMES so that anyone suffering from dysphasia has the chance to receive the best possible treatment regimen for their condition.
