The Vagus Nerve’s Role in Hiatal Hernia: A Closer Look

According to Dr. Vikki Petersen, a dysfunctional vagus nerve can contribute to Hiatal Hernia Syndrome by increasing intra-abdominal pressure. This happens when the vagus nerve’s low tone affects digestion, causing inefficient movement of food and gas, and also impacts the lower esophageal sphincter and diaphragm function.

Dr. Petersen’s approach to resolving Hiatal Hernia Syndrome involves evaluating and treating the vagus nerve, gut function, and diaphragm integrity. If you’re suffering from Hiatal Hernia Syndrome, consider contacting Dr. Petersen’s office for a consultation at 727-335-0400.
