I have a hiatal hernia and Gerd. I have been told that a chiropractor can push the hernia up until he can actually take it out throw your mouth?

Hi Evelyn,
A hiatal hernia occurs when part of your stomach pushes through the diaphragm and up into the chest. Since the "hernia" is still a part of your stomach, there's no way to push the hernia up and take it out through your mouth.
