Full Spine Chiropractic/Acid Reflux

Question
1. What is the "full spine" chiropractic technique and how does it differ from other popular approaches?

2. What type of chiropractic technique might be used to correct acid reflux?

3. Can the "vagus nerve" be approached through chiropractic manipulation of any kind?  And...have you heard of the vagus nerve being involved in aggravating acid reflux?  THANK YOU!

Answer
>1. What is the "full spine" chiropractic technique and how does it differ from other popular approaches?

It just means that a chiropractor manipulates the entire spine instead of just the upper neck.

>2. What type of chiropractic technique might be used to correct acid reflux?

Chiropractors aren't science based so they do whatever they like.  No technique will improve acid reflux by changing nerves.

>3. Can the "vagus nerve" be approached through chiropractic manipulation of any kind? And...have you heard of the vagus nerve being involved in aggravating acid reflux? THANK YOU!

No it can't since it is located inside the skull.  However chiropractors don't correct nerve interference even between the vertebra.  It is an unfounded claim they make.
