Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Diaphragm

We ask the diaphragm to do several functions for us simultaneously. These include:

  • Breathing

  • Stabilization

  • Esophageal function

Sphincter function

We can see that the diaphragm can act like a second esophageal sphincter, separating the stomach from the esophagus. Diaphragm function is impaired in the vast majority of those suffering from GERD.

training the diaphragm

DNS works exceptionally well at retraining the diaphragm to perform its many functions more appropriately. The results for GERD patients are reduction of hiatal hernia and helping to keep the acid of “acid reflux” from entering the esophagus from the stomach.
