Chiropractic Care for Heartburn and Acid Reflux in Red Wing, MN

Do you have heartburn or acid reflux Red Wing, MN? The terms heartburn and acid reflux are commonly used interchangeably, but heartburn is technically a symptom of acid reflux. Heartburn is a burning sensation that can move from your stomach to your chest and up to your throat. Other symptoms of acid reflux are regurgitation and dyspepsia. These symptoms most often occur after eating a heavy meal, while bending over, or when lying down, especially on your back. Acid Reflux is also known as Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Acid Reflux Facts in Red Wing

  • More than 60 million Americans experience acid reflux at least once a month.
  • More than half of all pregnant women experience heartburn during pregnancy.
  • Acid reflux ruins sleep and can even lead to developing sleep apnea.
  • Acid reflux can often coexist with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
  • Acid reflux increases risk of esophageal cancer.

Causes of Acid Reflux

There are many things that can cause acid reflux. Stomach abnormalities, pregnancy, smoking, and being overweight are just a few of the different causes. Certain foods or drinks can make the symptoms of acid reflux worse.

A major cause of acid reflux that we see in our clinic has to do with the alignment of your spine. When your spine is misaligned where the sensitive nerves go to the stomach and esophagus, it can cause the symptoms of acid reflux. We have many cases of success when adjusting patients with acid reflux.

What Can I Do To Correct and Avoid Acid Reflux?

Here are a few things that you can do immediately:

  • Avoid certain foods and drinks: Citrus fruits, chocolate, caffeinated or alcoholic drinks, spicy, fatty, or fried foods, garlic and onions, peppermint, and tomatoes
  • Eat smaller meals
  • Don’t lie down after eating
  • Elevate your bed
  • Quit smoking
  • Lose weight
