GI Conditions We Treat
The digestive tract is made up of more than just your stomach and intestines. Your mouth, esophagus, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas are also included. The digestive system plays a crucial role in breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. When any part of this complex system is compromised, it can significantly impact your overall health and well-being. At BSA Health System, our GI specialists are able to treat a number of conditions that affect the digestive tract, including:
- Acid reflux
- Barrett’s esophagus
- Biliary tract disease
- Chronic indigestion
- Crohn’s disease
- Diverticulitis
- Gallstones
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Hemorrhoids
- Hepatitis
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Liver disease
- Pancreatic duct issues
- Stomach lining inflammation
- Ulcerative colitis
- Ulcers
To treat these conditions, we offer a number of procedures performed by skilled advanced endoscopists. We provide endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and therapeutic endoscopic ultrasounds for bile duct, liver, and pancreas disorders. For patients who have Barrett’s esophagus, we use radiofrequency ablation to prevent pre-cancerous cells from developing on the lining of the esophagus. We also offer deep enteroscopy to manage conditions of the small intestine, and surgical treatments to remove polyps and cancerous tissues within the colon.
A referral from a doctor is required to make an appointment with our GI specialists. To learn more about our services, please call us.
Screening for Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, but if detected early, colon cancer can be treated or even prevented. Through regular colonoscopy screenings beginning at age 45, you can potentially save your life by treating polyps (abnormal growths) before the cancer spreads.
