Acid Reflux New Findings

Stretta is a non-surgical, endoscopic, outpatient treatment for GERD that delivers low levels of radiofrequency energy to the muscle between the stomach and the esophagus. GERD symptoms occur when this muscle is weak and stomach contents reflux up into the esophagus. Mechanistic studies show that Stretta instigates growth of smooth muscle and decreases tissue compliance, allowing fewer reflux events and leading to a significant improvement in GERD symptoms.
