Michoes Medical Centre | Esophageal Spasms Treatment in Kumi, Soroti

Esophageal spasms are a type of motility disorder that affects the muscles in the food pipe (esophagus), causing abnormal contractions. These spasms can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and regurgitation. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s essential to seek medical attention from a qualified doctor at Michoes Medical Centre.

Our team of experienced doctors, including Senior Orthopedic Consultant Michael Emusugut and Obstetrics & Gynaecology Specialist Susan Atai, will work with you to diagnose and treat your esophageal spasms. We offer a range of treatment options, including medications, botulinum injections, and surgery.

To determine the cause of your symptoms, we’ll perform tests such as upper endoscopy, ultrasound, barium swallow, and manometry. These tests will help us identify the type of esophageal spasms you’re experiencing and develop a personalized treatment plan for you.

  • Medications (such as narcotics or sedatives)
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
