Kelowna Chiropractors: Heartburn and Chiropractic Care in Kelowna

Heartburn and Chiropractic Care in Kelowna

Also known as gastro-esophageal reflux, heartburn is caused by weakness of the muscles between your stomach and your esophagus. The weakness allows the acidic contents of the stomach to be regurgitated back into the esophagus.

If left untreated over time, the acid reflux can create ulcers, and even lead to forms of cancer in the esophagus.

Although chiropractic is not a cure for heartburn, many of our practice members have found relief from their chronic heartburn.

Subluxations in the mid back can create pressure on the nerves that supply the sphincter muscles of the esophagus/stomach junction. The chiropractic adjustment removes the nerve pressure, and the body restores the function of the sphincter muscles.

If you are suffering needlessly from heartburn or acid reflux, call us today to determine if chiropractic care can help you.

Testimonials

I originally started going to Health In Hand Family Chiropractic because my personal trainer thought it would help with the hip pain that I had been having. I went in for an initial visit with Dr. Sarah and she explained that my pelvis was out of balance and that it may be contributing to other symptoms I had been experiencing with PMS and cramping.

The chiropractic adjustments gave me great relief from my hip pain, and after a few months I realized that my cramps and PMS were gone too! Now I go for regular wellness visits to keep me in balance and feeling amazing.

I am a Canadian National Power Lifting Champion. From the beginning of February 2009 to beginning of March 2009, I went from lifting 805 pounds off of the ground to lifting over 1000 pounds off the ground!!

Not changing my diet or workout routine at all, the strength benefits came from the adjustments!!

I recommend all my clients to check out “Health In Hand Family Chiropractic“, for all health benefits and concerns eg; lower back pain, to chronic fatigue, to strengthening immune systems to avoiding sicknesses.

Thank you for your help you guys are the best!!

In the past two years I had started to feel that my age was affecting my general health. As a physically active 53 year old I was feeling the wear and tear on my body. I was only sleeping 4 to 5 hours a night as I was being awakened by terrible neck pain.

I was always feeling heaviness in my chest and shoulder area and I was taking a lot of pills to kill the pain. I had actually started to curtail my physical activities due to the pain.

This past fall I had a chance meeting with Dr. Travis Pillipow a chiropractor in West Kelowna. It was his enthusiasm about the benefits of seeing a chiropractor that led to our discussion of my issues.

In that discussion he explained how a bad fall can throw the body out of alignment. I mentioned a trail bike accident I had taken in Gallagher’s Canyon the previous year and he recommended a consultation.

I booked an appointment at his Health in Hand office and I was pleasantly surprised with the approach. After an intensive consultation he shared with me the issues with my body and my personal body alignment. A plan was implemented.

After the first session I felt like a new man. That evening I slept a solid 9 hours and my wife mentioned that I had stopped snoring.

In the ensuing days I felt that I was standing straighter and breathing better. My nightly sleep settled in at seven hours and in the past week I have not taken any pain killers.

The initial benefits have been tremendous and I look forward to the continuation of the planned program. In fact yesterday I began a new workout regime and went for a long walk without any of my previous issues.

I highly recommend Dr. Travis Pillipow and his Health In Hand Family Chiropractic team for creating and maintaining optimal health and wellness for you and your entire family.
