Acid reflux is when stomach acid comes up into your throat. It can cause burning in the chest, a sour taste, a cough or a lump in your throat. It is common, but it is not normal.
At Inside Health Clinic in Oakville, we use the Deep Healing Method to find out why you have reflux. We do not guess. We look for the root cause, so we can treat the real problem and not only the symptom.
Many people think reflux means too much acid. Often it is the opposite. Low stomach acid can slow digestion, so food sits and pushes acid up. Other causes are a weak valve at the top of the stomach, germs in the stomach, food triggers, stress, extra belly pressure, and tight nerves in the neck and upper back that affect the stomach.
The reason is different for each person. Hiding the burn does not fix why it starts. We want to know why it is happening to you.
Our Deep Healing Method looks for the root cause, then fixes it in three steps.
First, we test and check. We do not guess.
We look at food triggers, stomach acid, gut germs and how well you digest food.
Tests we may use: food intolerance testing, stool analysis and blood work.
Next, we take away what is in the way.
This may mean taking out food triggers, clearing out germs that do not belong, and easing stress on your gut. Chiropractic care can also help if your neck or back is part of the problem.
Then we put back what is low, and we learn why it was low.
If stomach acid or digestive help is low, we replace it for the right amount of time. We watch for steady change, and we replace nutrients that were missed.
For a limited time, you can start with our In-Clinic Deep Healing Assessment for $129.
