Reflux that won’t go away?

Recurring reflux is also called GERD. The problem is often not too much stomach acid. It is about weakened muscles that can be strengthened through training. As the muscles become stronger, your symptoms naturally decrease.

Treatment methods for GERD

Medication
Reduces symptoms but does not address the underlying cause of recurring reflux. Medication should not be used for more than a few weeks. If symptoms persist, the underlying cause should be treated. There are also several potential side effects from medication.

Surgery
In some cases, surgery may be considered. The procedure involves reinforcing the lower oesophageal sphincter to restore its function.

Training the muscle chain
The only method that targets the underlying cause of the problem and strengthens the body naturally. You do not need a diagnosis to begin training. You can train while taking medication and also to help prevent the need for surgery.

You can easily perform the training at home using the IQoro training device.

Treat reflux (GERD) with neuromuscular training

For many people, reflux occurs because the muscles between the mouth and the diaphragm are weakened (hiatal hernia). Neuromuscular training strengthens the muscles between the mouth and the stomach and improves the swallowing function. As these muscles become stronger, symptoms naturally decrease.

You can easily perform the training at home using the IQoro training device.

How treatment with IQoro works

IQoro is a CE-marked neuromuscular training device developed in Sweden for the treatment of hiatal hernia and reflux.

IQoro activates 148 muscles from the lips down to the diaphragm by stimulating key nerves in the oral cavity.

Many of the muscles between the mouth and the stomach cannot be reached in any other way than through nerve signals involved in the swallowing process. When you train regularly, these muscles become stronger and your symptoms naturally decrease.

Many people also use IQoro to reduce snoring and sleep apnoea, as these conditions are often affected by the same muscle chain.

The real cause of recurring reflux

A weakened diaphragm, often referred to as a hiatal hernia, is one of the most common causes of reflux and related symptoms. The diaphragm is not just a thin muscle separating the heart and lungs from the stomach; it plays a crucial role in breathing and helps keep the stomach in its proper position.

What happens when the diaphragm weakens?

When the diaphragm weakens, the upper part of the stomach can slide up above it. This displacement allows stomach acid to leak into the oesophagus, which may lead to a range of uncomfortable symptoms.

How symptoms arise

When the stomach moves upward, not only can acid flow back, but the oesophagus may also be pushed upward. This can cause heartburn, a lump sensation in the throat and difficulty swallowing. Because weakened musculature affects the entire chain from mouth to stomach, it is common for several symptoms to occur.

Reflux (acid regurgitation)
Heartburn
Lump sensation in the throat
Difficulty swallowing
Excess mucus in the throat

It is not uncommon for these symptoms to come and go over time, or for several of them to appear together.

From severe reflux and food anxiety to a normal life again

Anna, 50, lived with reflux symptoms for more than ten years. The problems affected her daily life, and while medication sometimes helped, the relief was temporary. Over time, she began to explore whether her symptoms could be linked to how her diaphragm was functioning. This is her story

Doctor Eje: “I finally got rid of my snoring”

Eje Åhlander, a doctor, has snored for many years, with night-time breathing interruption (sleep apnoea) at times, too. The solution for him was IQoro, a neuromuscular training device and regime.

My wife was badly affected by my snoring even though I wasn’t. That didn’t feel good. Read Eje’s story

What is the difference between reflux, heartburn and GERD?

Reflux = acid regurgitation
Reflux means that stomach acid flows back up into the oesophagus. This can happen occasionally, for example after a large meal.

Heartburn
Heartburn is the symptom. It is the burning sensation behind the breastbone caused by reflux.

GERD
GERD is when reflux is recurring and affects daily life. It is the medical term for long-lasting or frequent symptoms.

Is it dangerous not to treat a hiatal hernia?

Recurring reflux is more than occasional discomfort. When symptoms persist over time, they can disrupt sleep, reduce quality of life and, in some cases, increase the risk of further health complications. Long-term reflux (GERD) has been associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular conditions.

Acid-reducing medications can ease symptoms by lowering stomach acid. However, if the underlying issue is impaired muscle and nerve function, they do not address the root cause. With prolonged use, documented risks include osteoporosis and pneumonia. For this reason, medication is often used short term or as support during gradual withdrawal.

If the underlying dysfunction remains untreated, symptoms are likely to return.

Untreated functional weakness may lead to:

• Ongoing symptoms affecting sleep and daily life
• Long-term reliance on symptom-relieving medication
• A persistent feeling that the problem never fully resolves

A different approach to treating the cause

In many cases, reflux is not primarily a problem of excess acid, but of weakened neuromuscular function between the stomach and oesophagus.

IQoro is designed to restore this function. By stimulating nerves in the mouth, a chain of muscles is activated down to the diaphragm and upper oesophageal sphincter. Many of these muscles cannot be strengthened through voluntary exercise in the same way as skeletal muscles.

As function improves, the stomach is better supported in its natural position and reflux can decrease.

Clinical studies conducted at Swedish universities demonstrate the effectiveness of the treatment. Ninety-seven percent of participants improved. IQoro is CE-marked as a Class I medical device and manufactured in Sweden.

A simple routine to eliminate reflux

With IQoro, you activate the nerves and weak muscles that cause your acid reflux.

For 30 seconds, you stimulate nerves in the mouth that activate 148 muscles at high intensity.

When you do this regularly, the muscles strengthen and the acid reflux decreases, to eventually disappear completely.

You can get started immediately on your own.
