Are you or a loved one experiencing difficulty swallowing, constant swallowing problems, or frequent coughing or choking while eating? At Curis Life Multi-Specialty Clinic in Andheri West, we specialize in evaluating and treating swallowing disorders with compassion and expertise. From oropharyngeal dysphagia to esophageal dysphagia, our dedicated team—including an expert gastroenterologist, speech therapists, and ENT specialists—offers comprehensive care that’s easy to access and centered around your comfort and health.

What is Dysphagia

Dysphagia refers to impaired swallowing—a condition where food or liquids don’t move easily from your mouth to your stomach. It can affect people of all ages but is particularly common in older adults and those with neurological disorders, stroke recovery, or Parkinson’s disease.

There are two primary types:

• Oropharyngeal dysphagia – Issues in the throat muscles or swallowing reflex
• Esophageal dysphagia – Problems in the esophageal function due to narrowing, blockages, or poor motility

If you’re experiencing persistent trouble swallowing, call 9869041559 for expert care in Andheri West.

Symptoms of Swallowing Disorders

You should seek evaluation at our Andheri West clinic if you notice:

• Feeling of food stuck in throat or chest
• Pain while swallowing
• Chronic coughing or choking when eating
• Silent aspiration (inhaling food/liquid without visible choking)
• Hoarseness or changes in voice after meals
• Frequent pneumonia due to aspiration risk
• Weight loss or dehydration

Conditions for Dysphagia

Several medical conditions can cause or worsen swallowing problems, including:

• GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
• Neuromuscular disorders
• Stroke recovery and swallowing complications
• Parkinson’s disease
• Esophageal stricture
• Head and neck cancers
• Post-surgical changes affecting the swallowing mechanism

Causes of Dysphagia

Some common contributors we often diagnose and manage at Curis Life include:

• Poor coordination of throat muscles
• Weak swallow reflex
• Scar tissue or inflammation in the pharynx and esophagus
• Tumors or obstructions
• Age-related loss of laryngeal elevation strength
• Habitual poor posture while eating
• Advanced conditions requiring a feeding tube

Diagnosis – How We Evaluate Dysphagia

At Curis Life, we offer a multi-disciplinary, accurate evaluation using:

• Clinical assessment by gastroenterologist and ENT specialist
• Swallow study with real-time X-ray or modified barium swallow
• Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)
• Neurological and muscle function tests
• Assessing bolus transit through imaging

We also involve speech-language pathology experts who specialize in identifying the subtle mechanics of the swallowing process.
