Manage episode 294240080 series 2856796
In this episode, I interview a Swallow Specialist from Oklahoma, Tiffany Turner, to learn about how Parkinson's disease may impair swallowing function. Tiffany explains how dysfunction in the nervous system may lead to swallowing difficulty and what clinical signs we need to be aware of as caregivers that such a problem is developing. Tiffany explains how a swallow disorder is evaluated in the clinic and in the hospital settings. She details for us what she is looking for and how she recognizes if the swallowing difficulty may be a result of some other gastrointestinal disorder. Tiffany provides us with treatment options that may reverse swallowing dysfunction in our loved one as well as information on how to prevent life threatening complications related to swallowing.
