Acid reflux, also known as heartburn, is when the lower esophageal sphincter does not close entirely or close enough, allowing acid produced by the stomach to escape into the esophagus. Common causes of acid reflux include intermittent cleft palate, obesity, and unhealthy eating habits. Common symptoms of acid reflux include bloating, belching, nausea, dysphagia, or esophageal strictures. Acid reflux can be treated with lifestyle changes such as a healthier diet and healthy food choices. This acupuncture removes and targets the root causes of acid reflux.
Treat the root cause
People suffering from GERD experience indigestion and symptoms such as acid regurgitation and frequent belching. Medication offers some relief but may worsen symptoms over time, or the patient may experience side effects such as headaches and muscle cramps. Treating the cause is the only way to cure patients of this problem. Left untreated can lead to esophageal cancer, Barrett's esophagus, or chronic cough. The increasing prevalence of this disease in the population has led to intensive research to find the exact cause of its occurrence and possible alternative treatments, including acid reflex acupuncture. Predisposing conditions Peptic ulcer disease causes the upper part of the stomach to protrude through the diaphragm, causing acid to leak into the esophagus. In addition, food malabsorption is also known as the acid reflux factor.
As a result, stomach pressure increases, causing the sphincter between the esophagus and the stomach to open. Aging is another factor that causes acid reflux. Aging causes a decrease in the production of stomach acid, which leads to poor digestion. Unhealthy eating habits, such as snacking or eating large or large meals near bedtime, prevent adequate food absorption and put pressure on the diaphragm. Although medication can help with the immediate effects of acid reflux, it can also interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals. In addition, long-term use of antacids can cause anxiety, panic attacks, heart problems, and neuropathy. Acupuncture treatment Acupuncture focuses on the role of the pancreas, bladder, spleen, and liver in digestion. Dysfunction of any of these organs can cause acid reflux and other digestive problems.
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate these acupuncture points to help the digestive system function properly. Acupuncture can also help regulate the sphincter muscle between the stomach and esophagus. As a result of treatment, you can digest food with normal stomach and bowel movements. Since emotional stress can also disrupt the digestive system, acupuncturists design treatment programs that help patients reduce stress and improve digestive function.
