What treatment is available for acid reflux?

We offer the full range of reflux treatments available, from non-surgical, minimally invasive day surgery to surgical inpatient. The extensive pathways available gives you reassurance you’ll get the most appropriate treatment for your symptoms and not be restricted by what a clinic offers. Treatment options include:

  • Oesophageal function test - a two-part diagnostics test involving a manometry and a pH impedance study. A manometry is a 30-minute procedure measuring the muscle function of the oesophagus. This test is run by a third party on behalf of Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital.  A pH impedance study is a 24-hour test done at home, measuring the backflow of acid from the stomach. 
  • Gastroscopy -  an investigative procedure using an endoscope is used to look inside the oesophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine. 
  • Stretta therapy - a non-surgical outpatient procedure. It delivers radiofrequency energy to the lower oesophageal muscles, resulting in improved barrier function that causes reflux symptoms.
  • LINX - a minimally invasive procedure, LINX is a small flexible band of titanium beads linked together around the base of the oesophagus. The magnetic attraction between the beads helps resist opening to gastric pressures, preventing acid reflux.
  • Fundoplication - a laparoscopic procedure involving attaching part of the stomach to the lower oesophageal sphincter, which helps reduce acid reflux.

Our experts work with you to develop the treatment plan that suits you, your symptoms and lifestyle.
