Anybody have some quick info. on Dysphagia?

Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing. Many people have this after they've had a stroke. It can also be caused by a problem with the esophagus. An ear, nose and throat specialist would be able to diagnose.

Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) can be caused by many factors. A space occupying lession in the cervical spine could be one reason. An anterior herniated disc can be another reason. You should go and see your primary health provider for further evaluation. Chiropractic is beneficial in restoring proper function to the body by corecting subluxations and misalignments that can lead to an altered state of health.
