Dysphagia Disease Treatment
Enteral Nutrition Therapy
Malnutrition is a dangerous side effect of dysphagia that can lead to other severe medical problems. Enteral therapy is a useful option if your diet has been disrupted by swallowing difficulties. We offer a full medical nutritional support program designed together with you and your practitioner. Our enteral therapeutics include various nutrition products and a wide range of feeding tube supplies and equipment suited to your needs.
How We Can Help
Patients who receive a manufactured valve will almost always require a blood-thinning medication for the rest of their lives. The blood thinner will keep clots from forming. Living with a Mechanical Heart Valve can be challenging, but you're not in it alone. Lincare’s affiliates are here for you and provide at Home PT/INR Testing. The INR Testing program may improve health-related quality of life while receiving the medical treatment you need.
