At Dr. Shamim Alig's clinic, patients undergo a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying causes of acidity. This may involve a detailed medical history review, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as upper endoscopy or pH monitoring to assess the severity of acid reflux and rule out other gastrointestinal conditions.

Initial management typically includes lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes, avoiding trigger foods, maintaining a healthy weight, and elevating the head of the bed to reduce nighttime symptoms. Over-the-counter antacids or prescription medications may be recommended to neutralize stomach acid or reduce its production.

In addition to medication, Dr. Alig may suggest other therapeutic approaches such as dietary supplements, herbal remedies, or behavioral modifications to alleviate acidity symptoms and promote overall digestive health. For individuals with severe or persistent acidity, Dr. Alig may recommend advanced procedures or surgical interventions to address underlying issues such as hiatal hernia or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
