Reflux Shield™ is designed with scientific principles in mind. It draws on the well-established research in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) for hiatal hernias. This research, exemplified by studies like "Reduction and Resolution of a Hiatal Hernia Using Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment: A Case Report" by Mikhail Volokitin et al., highlights the potential of non-invasive approaches to managing hiatal hernias.

Reflux Shield™ works similarly to OMT. It targets the anatomical structures involved in hiatal hernias to address underlying issues and potentially restore normal function. This approach aims to provide effective relief from hiatal hernia symptoms.
