Referred Musculoskeletal Pain From Heartburn: Connection & Treatments

Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I talk about my personal journey dealing with GERD and eosinophilic esophagitis. I discuss the surprising visceral connections related to these conditions including the esophagus and the ligament of Treitz and the various symptoms including referred musculoskeletal pain, dysphagia, and chest pain. I also provide treaments and solutions for GERD beyond medication including manual therapy and dietary adjustments. This episode is packed with insights for anyone struggling with and/or treating complex gut health issues!
