Chiropractic Care for Heartburn and Acid Reflux in Glencoe, MN

Do you have heartburn or acid reflux Glencoe, 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).
