PPI Risks and Alternatives for Heartburn

Millions of people take Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) for acid reflux, GERD, and heartburn — but are they safe long term?

In this video, Dr. Gerard explains how PPIs work by suppressing stomach acid and why prolonged use may interfere with the body’s ability to absorb essential minerals like calcium and magnesium.

He also shares alternative approaches that may help address the underlying causes of reflux and indigestion, including:
• Digestive enzyme support
• Evaluating spinal and neck nerve supply
• Manual treatment options for hiatal hernia

Watch the full video to learn more about supporting healthy digestion naturally.

Are you dealing with chronic low back pain, sciatica, or a herniated disc?

In this reel, Dr. Gerard explains the Cox Flexion-Distraction Technique — a safe, gentle chiropractic method developed by Dr. Fred Cox to help reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves.

This technique may help patients suffering from:
• Herniated or bulged discs
• Sciatica
• Spinal stenosis
• Chronic lumbar pain
• Vertebral instability

Many patients are surprised to learn there are non-surgical options available, even when MRIs show significant disc problems.

Watch the reel to learn how this specialized approach works and why so many patients have found relief.

Dowager’s hump is often misunderstood as “just a fat deposit,” but there may be much more happening beneath the surface.
Dr. Gerard explains how abnormal curvature in the thoracic spine can shift the upper back backward and the head forward — commonly caused by trauma, prolonged texting, and hours spent bent over computers.
Over time, constant muscle strain and inflammation can develop in the neck and upper back. The encouraging part? Many cases are correctable with targeted chiropractic care and spinal rehabilitation.
Treatment approaches may include:
✅ Specific spinal adjustments
✅ Gentle traction
✅ Home exercises
✅ Corrective posture training
Better posture starts with understanding the cause.

Did you know your digestive system and nervous system are closely connected?

In this video, our chiropractor explains the relationship between GERD (acid reflux) and the vagus nerve—an important part of how the body regulates digestion. Misalignment in the upper cervical spine (C1/C2) may affect nerve communication, while stress and lifestyle factors can further contribute to symptoms.
Our approach focuses on supporting overall function through specific chiropractic care, including gentle upper cervical adjustments and targeted techniques.

If you’ve been dealing with reflux, this perspective may help you better understand what’s going on. Feel free to share with someone who might benefit.

Heartburn and reflux are often blamed on too much stomach acid—but that’s not always the full picture.

In this video, we explain how GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) can sometimes be linked to low stomach acid, which may lead to incomplete digestion. When food isn’t properly broken down, the body may respond by pushing it upward—resulting in reflux symptoms.

Understanding how the digestive process is supposed to work is key to identifying the root cause.

This is Part 1 of a series where we’ll explore practical approaches to addressing heartburn and hiatal hernia symptoms more effectively.

If you or someone you know struggles with reflux, this information may offer a helpful new perspective. Feel free to share.
