Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or GERD, is a common and uncomfortable condition caused by dysfunction of the circular muscle (sphincter) at the lower end of the esophagus.
This allows stomach acid to seep back up into the lower esophagus, resulting in irritation, inflammation, and burning pain (“heartburn”).
It is important for this condition to be addressed by a medical doctor, because chronic, untreated GERD can lead to more serious consequences.
In the meantime, I have an adjustment, done with the Activator instrument, that often brings temporary relief.
