We are one big, happy family. Who are “we”? Our
bodies and the billions of microorganisms living with us in harmony…most of the
time! The microorganisms in the gut particularly are quite important
to the health status of our bodies, notably as we grow, age
and experience pain. Back And Neck Care Center takes care of
younger and older Severna Park chiropractic
patients likewise. Back And Neck Care Center additionally cares for
their accompanying “friends”, microorganisms, and presents
information about how to maintain a harmonious and healthy
relationship.
GUT MICROBIOTA, BACTERIA, AND DISEASE
Gut microbiota is involved in the progress
or prevention of various diseases from bone and joint
related issues to scoliosis, pain, and aging related issues. Research
about the gut microbiome expands in support that it influences
the immune system and inflammation that often leads to
bone and joint diseases related to aging: osteoporosis,
osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcopenia and frailty. (1) The gut
microbiomome and bacteria influenced pain severity perception
in one study of chronic pain patients who had low back, leg, and whole body pain. (2) An interesting cause for
developing scoliosis involves the human
gastrointestinal tract. The gut microbiota influences musculoskeletal diseases like arthritis and osteoporosis,
but now changes of the gut microbiome in
patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is discovered.
The structure of the gut microbiota is different between AIS
and healthy research study groups. The
genera prevotella, gelria, and desulfovibrio were enriched in
the feces of AIS patients. In contrast, the abundance of parasutterella, tyzzerella, and phascolarctobacterium was decreased
in the AIS group. Knowing these gut microbiota discrepancies
can lead doctors in their diagnosis of AIS and set
up choices for the patients to modify
their gut microbiota. (3) Such intestinal bacterial differences
are present in other human diseases, too, like type
2 diabetes, fatty liver, and malignancy such as colorectal cancer, breast
cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis,
sarcopenia, atherosclerotic stroke and cardiovascular disease are major
diseases associated with reduced activities of
daily living, particularly in older people.
Recent analyses reported the significance
of gut microbiota in the control of these diseases. (4) Severna Park
chiropractic patients may not often contemplate their
gut’s condition on a everyday basis, but research keeps
reminding doctors like your Severna Park chiropractor that it needs
attention!
HOW TO HELP THE GUT’S MICROBIOME
The gut appreciates attention. Probiotics
and prebiotics are helpful. (1) Aloe vera and peppermint are healing
and calming. Fiber and flax are moving and alleviating.
