Treatments for Vocal Fold Paresis may vary depending upon the method the otolaryngologist chooses to try. Voice Therapy is a preferred method to use in hopes of correcting the vocal folds with out surgery. Voice Therapy involves exercises to improve breathing and strenghtening of the cords. Another treatment is by adding bulk to the vocal cords by surgically implanting a silicone block. This will give the cords the extra bulkiness it needs to act as the cords would do normally. After surgery patients still undergo voice therapy which helps to train the vocal cords. Another treatment for bilateral paralyzed vocal cords can be the surgical procedure of tracheotomy. A tracheotomy is a tube that is placed in a person's stoma to help for breathing. Normal breathing is not done through the nose and mouth when a trach is surgically implanted.http://www.entcolumbia.org/parsurg.html
