Heartburn So Bad I Had Surgery…

I had a NISSEN Fundoplication in May 2003 and did well until November 2004.  My symptom stared all over again and lost 20# as a result.  I had difficulty eating coarse, spicy foods and at times it didn’t seem to matter what I ate.  I sought the help of my MD again and was started on Prilosec once a day and then increased to twice a day with no relief.  I had an endoscopy in December 2004 which was normal and still my symptoms didn’t cease.  Of course I was skeptical about seeing a chiropractor for my problem but I was desperate and had to try something. With the Specific Family Chiropractic I had the courage to stop taking Prilosec, which I haven’t taken now for a few months.  It has been 3 months and I eat anything I want.  One major concern I had was paying for the treatment because my insurance doesn’t cover chiropractic care but they set up a reasonable payment plan.  I am very pleased about the care I have received.
