Approximately one in 25 adults in the US will experience a swallowing problem. That’s difficulty or pain when swallowing or not being able to swallow at all—whether it’s liquids, food or saliva. Getting treatment from a speech-language pathologist can help. In this episode, Dr. Angela Van-Sickle, assistant professor, at the TTUHSC School of Health Professions, explains what causes someone to have a problem swallowing, how to get treatment and what we can do now to try to prevent having this problem in the future.
