My wife's face and neck muscles tense when trying to speak?
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I recommend seeing a speech pathology specialist in voice and voice disorders.

Make sure the ENT and speech pathologist specialize in voice and spasmodic dysphagia. I specialize in dysphagia management. READ MORE
