Best Achalasia Cardia Treatment in Pune- Kaizen Gastro Care

The “Achalasia-Cardia” is a very rare disease but the number of Achalasia-Cardia patients is increasing day by day. Achalasia, also known as esophageal achalasia, is a condition in which the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach) is unable to move the food into the stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a ring of muscle fibers that surrounds the lower end of the esophagus where it joins the stomach. The LES acts like a valve between the esophagus and stomach, preventing the backflow of food. In people with achalasia, the LES fails to relax during swallowing, resulting in the food moving back up into the esophagus.
