Chiropractic Care for Heartburn and Acid Reflux in Eagan,MN

Do you have heartburn or acid reflux Eagan, MN? The terms heartburn and acid reflux are commonly used interchangeably, but heartburn is technically a symptom of acid reflux.

Heartburn is a burning sensation that can move from your stomach to your chest and up to your throat. Other symptoms of acid reflux are regurgitation and dyspepsia.

These symptoms most often occur after eating a heavy meal, while bending over, or when lying down, especially on your back. Acid Reflux is also known as Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Acid Reflux Facts in Eagan

  • More than 60 million Americans experience acid reflux at least once a month.
  • More than half of all pregnant women experience heartburn during pregnancy.
  • Acid reflux ruins sleep and can even lead to developing sleep apnea.
  • Acid reflux can often coexist with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
  • Acid reflux increases risk of esophageal cancer.

Causes of Acid Reflux

There are many things that can cause acid reflux. Stomach abnormalities, pregnancy, smoking, and being overweight are just a few of the different causes. Certain foods or drinks can make the symptoms of acid reflux worse.

A major cause of acid reflux that we see in our clinic has to do with the alignment of your spine. When your spine is misaligned where the sensitive nerves go to the stomach and esophagus, it can cause the symptoms of acid reflux. We have many cases of success when adjusting patients with acid reflux.


What Can I Do To Correct and Avoid Acid Reflux?

Here are a few things that you can do immediately:

  • Avoid certain foods and drinks: Citrus fruits, chocolate, caffeinated or alcoholic drinks, spicy, fatty, or fried foods, garlic and onions, peppermint, and tomatoes
  • Eat smaller meals
  • Don’t lie down after eating
  • Elevate your bed
  • Quit smoking
  • Lose weight

The staff is very friendly and accommodates your schedule. Your well-being is their top priority.

When I was suffering from neck/shoulder pain and time would not heal it, I knew I needed to get to Dr. Natasha and see what she could do for me. Fortunately it went away after a few visits. I appreciate the benefits of chiropractic help.

Dr. Kristin Fellows has been a blessing to my health. She truly has the knowledge, compassion and patience during my appointments. My overall health has greatly improved since starting treatment with her. The staff are also all so kind and greet everyone in a kind, professional and personable manner.

Molli D.

I am so very happy that I discovered Cornerstone! I originally came for what I assume was TMJ. Dr. Natasha adjusted it. It is not painful or debilitating anymore. With that success and the encouragement of Dr Natasha, I now go once a week.

Sandra L.

I have been with Cornerstone Chiropractic and specifically Dr. Kristin for nine years. I walked in the door in excruciating pain and limited mobility. I have a chronic issue but am now relatively pain free and my mobility has greatly improved!
