Does a chiropractic visit work for acid reflux?

Answer by  PegL (7)

A chiropractic visit may alleviate symptoms of acid reflux in specific circumstances but it is best to discuss any treatment with a doctor before pursuing treatment. The best known treatment for acid reflux is to change your diet to remove acidic foods, avoid exercise immediately before or after eating, and take any medication prescribed by your doctor.

There are plenty of people who swear by the fact that chiropractic visits can help acid reflux, but there is really no solid evidence to prove it. It is possible because having issues with your joints, specifically your back can cause you to have trouble with proper digestion of food.

No, I have this condition, and back issues. A chiropractic visit does not make my acid reflux any better or worse.

Answer by  Emre (125)

Yes, it can. Because, acid reflux is generally about high stress and depression, so a chiropatic visit can be helpful when dealing with stress and depression. In chaotic cycle of life, everyone needs relax for some times.

It takes at least three visits to a chiropractic to help in acid reflex. A chiropractic will perform orthopaedic and neurologic examination on you. He can then provide you with a tailored plan of adjustments.

No; chiropractic is not medicine, and besides manual manipulation of the spine, no benefit has been demonstrated as anything more useful than a massage. Chiropractic has no curative power.

Answer by  johnresa (2455)

Surprisingly enough sometimes just one adjustment can be just what you need to cure you of those acid reflux symptoms. This is not generally recommended though.

Chiropractic does not work for acid reflux. There is no scientific data supporting the efficacy of chiropractic for the treatment of acid reflux. Any support for chiropractic for the treatment of acid reflux is testimonial at best.
