Rehabilitation and Therapy at Sentara Albemarle Medical Center

Our licensed speech therapists work with patients to develop individualized therapy programs to address communication and swallowing challenges resulting from cancer, dementia, neurological disease, stroke or injuries.

Sentara offers the following specialized speech and swallowing therapy services at our Sentara Albemarle Medical Center location:

Lee Silverman Voice Therapy® (LSVT)

Our specialists use LSVT to help with Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions. We use this specialized training to help with voice volume, and recognition of volume through sensory feedback.

VitalStim® therapy

Our speech pathologists use an FDA-approved device that stimulates weak or inactive muscles related to swallowing with electrical impulses. This stimulation helps to strengthen and retrain the muscles used in swallowing.
