Heal Heartburn With Expert Treatment
Occasional, mild heartburn may be an annoyance. But frequent, bothersome heartburn is a medical issue that needs professional treatment. Download our free guide for more information.
The experts at Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) offer a range of treatments for chronic heartburn. In some cases, you may be able to control heartburn symptoms with changes to your diet and lifestyle, often combined with medication. But in other cases, constant heartburn may be a sign of a more serious health condition that could benefit from state-of-the-art surgical treatment.
Many of us are all too familiar with that searing sensation in the chest or throat known as heartburn. It’s caused by acid reflux, which occurs when the contents of the stomach mistakenly flow back up into the esophagus.
The link between heartburn and acid reflux
Frequent heartburn and acid reflux may be symptoms of a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Getting appropriate treatment for GERD can help improve your daily life and prevent serious complications.
