Causes Of Heartburn & Acid Reflux

Heartburn And Acid Reflux Treatments

Heartburn, acid reflux, and GERD are treatable with a non-surgical procedure called Stretta. Stretta is an out-patient treatment that takes about an hour to perform and uses radiofrequency to reduce the walls of the lower esophagus. Stretta usually treats patients whose condition is not well controlled with medication. It has few side effects and is effective for up to ten years. There are various types of laparoscopic surgeries available to treat chronic and severe conditions and the surgery performed will depend on the individual and any specific health issues the individual has. The surgeries do not always require general anesthesia or hospitalization. There are many effective treatments available, so there is no need to live with the pain and discomfort of having these conditions.
