Could your chronic neck or back pain actually be linked to your gut health?
Research shows that inflammation and digestive issues may play a bigger role in spinal pain than most people realize.
Here are a few ways gut problems can affect your spine:
• Inflammation connection: Poor gut health can trigger systemic inflammation, leading to pain and stiffness.
• Food sensitivities: Certain foods may cause flare-ups in both digestion and spinal discomfort.
• Gut disorders: IBS, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis can all worsen back or neck pain.
• Warning signs: Pain that worsens after eating or occurs alongside bloating and cramping may signal a gut-spine connection.
Georgia Medical Treatment Center offers an integrated approach to uncover the root causes of chronic pain, helping you find relief that lasts.
