I just bought one of the CTAR balls on Amazon, because I read that it will help with esophagal stricture. Is this true?

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

Esophageal strictures are a medical problem that requires the skills of a GI specialist. The most common treatment is esophageal dilation or stretching. Depending on severity or cause, surgical intervention may also be needed. Or if the stricture is caused by reflux, a change in eating habits or drugs can reduce the amount of acid in the stomach. What the CTAR ball can help with is strengthening the muscles under the chin which can help to open the sphincter from the throat into the esophagus. So to put it simply, the esophageal sphincter is always contracted and relaxes when you swallow to allow food or liquid to pass into your esophagus. But a stricture is a narrowing in the esophagus itself and will not benefit or get better using the CTAR exercise. Hope this helps!
