Treating Acid Reflux
Acid reflux is a common condition that can create a great deal of suffering in people, but there is hope for healing.
What is Acid Reflux and where does it come from?
Acid reflux is a condition in which stomach acid travels back up into the esophagus. It can cause frequent heartburn, chest pain, a burning sensation in the esophagus, the inability to swallow, a choking sensation, nausea, and more. It happens when the muscle that is designed to close after swallowing food doesn't close properly. Some of the most common causes are hiatal hernia, obesity, poor posture, and anything that puts unnecessary pressure on the stomach.
How Can a Chiropractor Help with a Digestive Issue?
If you’re like most people, when you think about a chiropractor you think about neck and back pain. The idea of a chiropractor can help with a digestive problem may seem strange – and maybe a little far-fetched.
It’s true that chiropractors help the back and neck, but their specialties go beyond those two areas. A chiropractor is trained to treat the neuromusculoskeletal system. This system is responsible for protecting and supporting the health and function of many other systems – including digestive organs.
When an issue – like acid reflux occurs, It helps to take any unnecessary pressure off the stomach and digestive tract. Adjustments targeting the digestive tract can encourage a hiatal hernia to correct itself.
Another way in which chiropractic care can help relieve acid reflux symptoms is through lifestyle recommendations. Some factors that contribute to acid reflux are poor diet, excess weight, and smoking. Dr. Maddas can help you develop a plan to address any of these contributing factors in a natural way.
Anyone who has ever experienced acid reflux knows just how uncomfortable – and sometimes, debilitating – the condition can be. If you currently suffer from acid reflux from a hiatal hernia and are desperate for relief, let us help.
