Indigestion (Heartburn)
In the mid-back there is a nerve root that leaves the spine and travels to the stomach which when impinged the stomach doesn't work properly and either causes too much acid production, or not enough, either one can cause heartburn. If the stomach does not produce enough acid the heartburn comes from the food sitting in the stomach too long and then regurgitating. Chiropractic care can correct the back misalignment or special whole food supplements can help correct either problem. Over use of antacids and other medicines to help with the pain, will reduce the breakdown of food and any infection on the food and making a person more susceptible to disease and infection. |
