Get Reflux Treatment
Treat Chronic Heartburn
Occasional heartburn is normal, but frequent acid reflux, that burning in your chest or throat, coughing, or a sour taste, can signal GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Left unmanaged, it can affect your sleep, your diet, and your long-term health.
Our providers evaluate your symptoms, review your diet and lifestyle, and build a treatment plan that can include medication, targeted lifestyle changes, and, when appropriate, referral for further testing. The goal is lasting relief, not just a temporary fix.
FAQ
What’s the difference between heartburn and GERD?
Occasional heartburn is common. GERD is when acid reflux happens frequently (generally twice a week or more) or causes complications. GERD usually needs a proper treatment plan.
What foods make reflux worse?
Common triggers include spicy and fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, citrus, and large or late meals. Identifying your personal triggers is a key part of treatment.
How is acid reflux treated?
Treatment often combines lifestyle changes with medications like antacids, H2 blockers, or proton pump inhibitors. Our providers tailor the approach and monitor how you respond.
When should I be concerned?
Seek care if you have trouble swallowing, unexplained weight loss, persistent symptoms despite treatment, or chest pain. These can signal something that needs further evaluation.
