Are you experiencing chronic nausea, vomiting, or abdominal discomfort that medications and lifestyle changes don’t seem to control? You may have gastroparesis.

Wellstar is now offering a treatment for this condition, right here in LaGrange. Dr. John Woody Major would place a neurostimulator just beneath the skin, usually in the lower abdominal region. He can then non-invasively adjust your system to help find the level of stimulation that’s right for you.

For more information or to schedule your consult, please call 706-803-7570 or visit https://www.wellstar.org/locations/medical-practice/general-surgery-lagrange-1600-vernon-road-suite-a
