Voice Disorder
Treatment to assist with vocal cord nodules and polyps, vocal cord paralysis, paradoxical vocal fold movement and spasmodic dysphonia.
A voice disorder is a deviation in voice pitch, loudness, or quality that interferes with a person's quality of life. Individuals with a voice disorder may sound "hoarse" or "froggy", may clear his or her throat excessively, have "squeaky" voice breaks while speaking, have difficulty being heard from across a room, or sound to "nasally" or "stuffy." Often structural abnormalities are the cause of such symptoms.
**Please note that an examination by a licensed and certified Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) doctor is highly recommended prior to initiation of speech therapy for voice disorders since voice disorders are often a product of several conditions surrounding the vocal chords including ulcers, blisters, pappillomas, and cancer.
