Wellness Tips from Josef Schenker, MD | How to Relieve Acid Reflux

Acid reflux is something that many people face regularly. For some, it’s an occasional annoyance, but for others, it’s a daily challenge that can seriously interfere with their quality of life. If you’ve ever felt that burning sensation after eating, you know how frustrating it can be. But here’s the good news: acid reflux is manageable, especially when caught early.

It’s important to take action and make a few simple changes before things get worse. Without proper care, acid reflux can progress to more severe conditions like GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Research shows that GERD affects roughly 18% to 28% of Americans, making it a common but potentially serious issue. In this article, Dr. Josef Schenker breaks down what acid reflux is, why it happens, and, most importantly, how you can find lasting relief.
