Acid Reflux

GERD

Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a common digestive disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when stomach acid and/or bile flows back up into the esophagus, causing a range of symptoms including heartburn, chest pain, regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing.

At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, we take a holistic, integrative approach to acid reflux treatment. Our goal is to help our patients find relief from their symptoms by addressing the underlying causes of their acid reflux and promoting optimal digestive health.
