Specialty Focuses
Resonant Voice Therapy
Resonant voice therapy is a specialized technique aimed at optimizing the vocal quality and reducing strain on the vocal cords. This therapy focuses on producing a clear and vibrant voice with minimal effort. Our experienced speech-language pathologists guide patients through exercises that promote efficient voice production, helping to prevent vocal injuries and enhance overall vocal health.
Voice Therapy for Vocal Nodules
Vocal nodules, often caused by vocal misuse or overuse, can significantly impact voice quality. Our voice therapy for vocal nodules is designed to reduce and eliminate these benign growths on the vocal cords. Through tailored exercises and techniques, we help patients develop healthier vocal habits, reduce strain, and restore their natural voice. Our goal is to provide effective treatment that addresses the root cause of vocal nodules and prevents recurrence.
Voice Therapy for Hoarse Voice
A hoarse voice can result from various factors, including overuse, infections, and vocal cord abnormalities such as nodules. Our voice therapy for a hoarse voice aims to identify the underlying cause and provide targeted treatment to improve vocal quality. Through a combination of vocal exercises, lifestyle modifications, and vocal hygiene education, we help patients regain a clear and strong voice. Our therapists work closely with each patient to develop a personalized plan that promotes long-term vocal health.
