Esophageal Manometry

Find a Specialist Near You

Esophageal experts at Houston Methodist Lynda K. and David M. Underwood Center for Digestive Health use a quick outpatient test to examine and determine treatment for your unexplained swallowing and chest pain.

 

Our experienced gastroenterologists and GI surgeons will help you understand the cause of your chest pain. The esophageal manometry test measures the contractions executed by the muscles of the esophagus as it pushes food through the stomach.

 

The esophageal manometry test is an outpatient procedure performed in approximately 90 minutes. This minimally invasive technique uses a catheter (thin tube) inserted into your nose through your esophagus.

 

Once we receive the test results, we will design a treatment program customized to fit your specific needs. Esophageal manometry allows doctors to recommend treatment for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.

 

Houston Methodist Hospital is ranked No. 7 by U.S. News & World Report for Gastroenterology & GI Surgery. U.S. News & World Report has also named Houston Methodist Hospital the No. 1 hospital in Texas every year since the award began and one of the nation’s best as a nationally ranked Honor Roll hospital.
