Chiropractic Care for Heartburn and Acid Reflux in Daytona Beach, FL

Do you have heartburn or acid reflux Daytona Beach, FL? 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).

Causes of Acid Reflux

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.
