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 influential in the health status of our bodies, especially as we grow, age
and have pain. Most Chiropractic Clinic takes care of
older and younger Murfreesboro chiropractic
patients alike. Most Chiropractic Clinic additionally cares for
their add-on “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 development
or prevention of a variety of diseases from bone and joint
related issues to scoliosis, pain, and age related issues. Research
about the gut microbiome expands in evidence that it stimulates
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 of scoliosis involves the human
gastrointestinal tract. The gut microbiota affects musculoskeletal diseases such as 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 differed between AIS
and healthy research study groups. The
genera prevotella, gelria, and desulfovibrio were more noted in
the feces of AIS patients. Contrastingly, the large
quantity of parasutterella, tyzzerella, and phascolarctobacterium was reduced
in the AIS group. Knowing these gut microbiota differences
can lead doctors in their diagnosis of AIS and establish options for the patients to alter
their gut microbiota. (3) Such intestinal bacterial alterations
are seen 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 elderly people.
Recent analyses found the importance
of gut microbiota in the regulation of these diseases. (4) Murfreesboro
chiropractic patients may not often consider their
gut’s condition on a everyday basis, but research keeps
reminding doctors like your Murfreesboro chiropractor that it requires
attention!
HOW TO HELP THE GUT’S MICROBIOME
The gut welcomes attention. Probiotics
and prebiotics are beneficial. (1) Aloe vera and peppermint are restorative
and calming. Fiber and flax are moving and relieving.
