Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders at Atlantic Medical Group Gastroenterology

Gastrointestinal motility disorders can be caused by impaired movement of muscles in the digestive system, impaired or oversensitive nerve signaling between the gut and the brain (also known as “disorders of gut-brain interaction”), intolerance to certain foods, bacterial overgrowth, altered anatomy and more. 

The medical team at Atlantic Medical Group Gastroenterology provides a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approach for numerous gastrointestinal motility disorders including:

• Swallowing disorders (achalasia, distal esophageal spasm, ineffective motility)

• Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
