Can a Chiropractor Treat Acid Reflux?
Many people don’t realize that being out of alignment can contribute to acid reflux, making symptoms worse and harder to control. At Back 2 Health Chiropractic, Dr. Brent Fetzer is committed to providing education to patients so that they better understand the connection between their spinal health and their overall health. He specializes in treating a wide range of symptoms and conditions with chiropractic care in Lebanon, TN. Here is a look at the link between spinal alignment and acid reflux, and how Dr. Fetzer can relieve acid reflux and stomach pains through chiropractic care.
How Is Your Spinal Health Connected to Acid Reflux Symptoms?
Acid reflux occurs when the cardia is weakened. The cardia is the spot where the stomach attaches to the esophagus, and a weak cardia can cause substances to run from the stomach back up through your throat. In some cases, the cardia can become weakened due to joint and spinal dysfunctions that put pressure on the cardia and the stomach. Dr. Fetzer can identify and address any spinal misalignments that are causing increased acid reflux.
Chiropractic Care for Acid Reflux and Stomach Pains
Dr. Fetzer will use chiropractic adjustments and other chiropractic therapies to realign the spine, which relieves pressure on the nerves and joints that can contribute to acid reflux. He will do a full physical examination and discuss how acid reflux symptoms are affecting your overall health and quality of life. He can make connections between specific lifestyle habits like diet, exercise, and work conditions and your acid reflux. He will create a personalized chiropractic care plan that reduces your risk of acid reflux and its symptoms, and help you make key lifestyle changes that reduce your risk of future acid reflux symptoms.
