Chiropractic Care for Heartburn and Acid Reflux in Eden Prairie, MN

Do you have heartburn or acid reflux Eden Prairie, 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 Eden Prairie

  • More than 60 million Americans experience acid reflux at least once a month.
  • More than half of all pregnant women experience heartburn during pregnancy.

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.

Dr. Ian and Dr Stacy (Natural Health Practictioner) are AMAZING! Our daughter always had to use an inhaler before any activity and after just 3 short months of seeing Dr Ian, she was able to get rid of her inhaler and has not had to use it since!! Our regular adjustments keep us healthy and feeling great and they help to keep our very active sports kids healthy and injury free.
