Acid Reflux Relief in Oklahoma City
That burning sensation in your chest after meals. The sour taste that wakes you up (and keeps you up) at night. The discomfort that makes it challenging to enjoy family dinners. Acid reflux affects millions of Americans, but at Chiaf Chiropractic Clinic, we offer a natural approach to help your body heal itself without relying on antacids or other medications. Those merely mask symptoms.
What Is Acid Reflux?
Acid reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. This happens when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)—the small muscle that acts as a barrier between the stomach and the esophagus—doesn’t function properly. When this muscle weakens, stomach acid can escape. The result? You may experience symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation of food or liquid, bloating or discomfort after eating, and persistent cough or sore throat.
Over time, chronic acid reflux can cause damage to the esophagus, increasing the risk of complications. Addressing the root cause rather than just covering up symptoms is key to long-term relief.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Did you know that spinal misalignments can contribute to acid reflux? That’s because the spine houses the nervous system, which controls every function in the body—including digestion. If misalignments occur, especially in the thoracic spine (mid-back), they can disrupt nerve signals to the stomach and digestive organs. This can lead to poor digestion, increased acid production, and a higher likelihood of reflux.
Here’s the good news: Dr. Chiaf’s careful, precise adjustments target the root cause of acid reflux. Our natural care helps to:
- Restore proper nervous system communication with your digestive organs
- Reduce pressure on your stomach and diaphragm
- Support normal function of the esophageal sphincter
- Allow your body to heal naturally, the way God designed it
