An imbalanced gut microbiome could be the reason for your joint pain.

Joints connect bones within your body, providing support and enabling you to move.  They are made up of bone, muscles, cartilage, ligaments and synovial fluid, – a lubricant that helps protect bones from being worn away over time by friction.

Joint pain (also known as arthralgia) refers to pain, inflammation and swelling in any of the body’s joints. (Shoulders, hips, elbows, knees, fingers, toes and wrists).

Many different conditions can lead to painful joints including arthritis (one of the most common causes of joint pain), osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid  arthritis (RA), bursitis (inflammation of the cushioning pads around joints), gout, strains, sprains, obesity, over exercising and other injuries.

The connection between the gut microbiome and joint pain

Trillions of bacteria live throughout your body, but the ones in your gut have the biggest impact on your well-being. They line your entire digestive system and affect everything from your immune system to your metabolism.

There are 500 different kinds of bacteria containing nearly 2 million genes, paired with other tiny organisms like viruses and fungi, that make up the microbiome.

An imbalance between the good and bad bacteria in our guts can lead to inflammation of the intestinal tract, which results in increased intestinal permeability. This enables bad bacteria to cross the intestinal barrier, get into the bloodstream and trigger an inflammatory response resulting in joint pain and joint deterioration.

In a 2014, a clinical trial, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were divided into two groups. Daily, one group received a placebo and the other group received a supplement containing a SPECIFIC probiotic formula. After an eight-week period, the patients who took the probiotic supplement showed significantly lower levels of inflammation than that of the placebo group. The study revealed that not only did the probiotics reduce inflammation in these patients, but their quality of life had also improved.
