GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is being increasingly identified in the United States with nearly 10% of the adult population experiencing heartburn on a daily basis. Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) malfunctions, thereby allowing stomach acid to escape into the esophagus. When this reflux extends past the Upper Esophageal Sphincter (UES) into the upper airway, LaryngoPharyngeal Reflux (LPR) occurs.
