A non-invasive method and device for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in a patient are disclosed. The method calls for positioning electrodes, and applying electrical symmetrical bursts. In particular, positioning step requires positioning a plurality of electrodes in electrical contact with the skin of a target region of the abdomen of the patient. The application step calls for applying a series of electrical symmetrical bursts to said electrodes. That application step generates contractions of abdominal muscles thereby generating movements of a digestive system of said patient wherein said movements are for causing the content of the esophagus to return to the stomach and to relieve GERD symptoms of said patient.
