GUT MICROBIOTA, BACTERIA, AND DISEASE
Gut microbiota is engaged in the progress
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 grows in evidence that it influences
the immune system and inflammation that many times precedes
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 report 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 like arthritis and osteoporosis,
but now alterations of the gut microbiome in
patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is found.
The structure of the gut microbiota varied between AIS
and healthy research study groups. The
genera prevotella, gelria, and desulfovibrio were more noted in
the feces of AIS patients. In contrast, the large
quantity of parasutterella, tyzzerella, and phascolarctobacterium was reduced
in the AIS group. Recognizing these gut microbiota discrepancies
can help doctors diagnose AIS and establish choices for the patients to transform
their gut microbiota. (3) Such intestinal bacterial alterations
are present in other human diseases, as well, 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 linked to decreased activities of
daily living, particularly in elderly people.
Recent analyses found the significance
of gut microbiota in the regulation of these diseases. (4) Carrolltown
chiropractic patients may not often consider their
gut’s condition on a day to day basis, but research reminds doctors like your Carrolltown chiropractor that it needs
attention!
