Honored to be involved in this NIH-funded study uncovering a link between gut microbiome dysbiosis and lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (LDS). Higher pro-inflammatory bacteria in LDS patients may drive spine degeneration. Exciting new insights! 🧠🔬 @ISSLS_Society @NASSspine
Is gut health related to the development of a painful spine condition?

🌟Our @NIH_NIAMS funded study finds significant association of GUT MICROBIOME dysbiosis related to lumbar degenerative “Spondylolisthesis” in patients requiring surgery!
