Speech Therapy for Dysphagia in Dubai by Dr. Azizreza Ghasemzadeh – Over 20 Years of Experience

Dysphagia in Dubai

Dysphagia in Dubai refers to difficulty in swallowing, which may occur due to neurological conditions, structural abnormalities, or age-related decline. It can affect both children and adults and often leads to nutritional problems, choking, and reduced quality of life.

⚠️ Symptoms of Dysphagia

Common signs include:

• Coughing or choking while eating or drinking

• Feeling of food stuck in the throat

• Drooling or excessive saliva

• Unexplained weight loss

• Frequent chest infections (aspiration pneumonia)

If you notice these symptoms in yourself or your child, it’s essential to seek professional evaluation.

Causes of Dysphagia

Dysphagia may be caused by:

• Stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

• Parkinson’s Disease or Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

• Head and neck cancer or surgery

• Congenital disorders (e.g., cerebral palsy, cleft palate)

• Developmental delay in children

At our clinic in Dubai, we identify the root cause and create an individualized therapy plan.

️ Role of Speech Therapy in Treating Dysphagia

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are trained to assess and treat swallowing disorders using:

• Clinical swallowing evaluation

• Videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) or FEES referral

• Swallowing exercises to strengthen muscles

• Safe feeding strategies and positioning

• Diet texture modifications

• Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)
