MetroWest Medical Center Opens New Motility Testing Center for Those Dealing with Digestive Diseases
MetroWest Medical Center is proud to unveil its new Motility Testing Center located at our Center for Digestive Health. The new testing center is designed to help diagnose, treat and bring relief to those dealing with digestive disorders like Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The center’s opening is very timely with National GERD Awareness Week falling on the week of November 19-25. Approximately one in five American adults have GERD and it is the most common gastrointestinal-related diagnosis made by physicians during clinical visits in the U.S. Chronic heartburn/acid reflux, or GERD, results when the gastroesophageal valve allows stomach contents to wash backward or reflux into the esophagus, causing injury to the esophageal lining.
