Dysarthria Treatment in Burlington

Dysarthria is a type of speech impairment that affects the way people speak and can have a major impact on their lives. For many people, dysarthria has a significant impact on their ability to communicate effectively with others and feel confident engaging in social activities like public speaking or job interviews.

What is Dysarthria?

Dysarthria is the result of motor impairment in the muscles used to produce speech. It can be caused by stroke, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, head injury, brain tumours and other neurological disorders. Dysarthria can also occur as a result of aging or drug intoxication. For many people, dysarthria has a significant impact on their ability to communicate effectively with others and feel confident engaging in social activities like public speaking or job interviews.

Depending on the degree of difficulty caused by this condition, dysarthria treatment may include exercises for improving muscle control, medications to help regulate speech patterns, and other specialized therapies tailored to an individual’s needs. Thankfully, a dysarthria treatment is available today which allows individuals to take back control over their spoken words and live fuller lives without fear or anxiety about public speaking or communication with new people.

Our clinic provides dysarthria treatment in Burlington and around the area. Either in person at our facility, at your home or via video calls (virtual therapy).

What are the early symptoms of Dysarthria?

Many people with dysarthria will experience difficulty speaking, including slurred speech or difficulty forming words properly.

Rapid or slow rate of speech

Monotone or flat tone of voice

Odd rhythms when speaking

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism

I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….

On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.

This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.

I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
