Swallow Study
Swallowing problems are common, treatable, and often invisible from the outside. A swallow study lets us see exactly what is happening in the throat during eating and drinking.
What is a swallow study?
Swallowing problems are common, treatable, and often invisible from the outside. A swallow study lets us see exactly what is happening in the throat during eating and drinking, so treatment is based on what we observe rather than what we guess.
Vista Speech and Swallowing performs endoscopic swallow studies for adults in our Arvada office and on site at facilities and partner clinics across the Denver metro area.

When a swallow study is the right next step
You or someone you care for may benefit from a study if any of the following sound familiar.
- Coughing, choking, or a wet sounding voice during or after meals
- Food or pills feeling stuck in the throat
- Repeated pneumonia or unexplained chest infections
- Weight loss, dehydration, or meals that keep getting longer
- A recent stroke, head and neck cancer treatment, or a diagnosis such as Parkinson’s disease or ALS
