Concord, NC Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Back pain and Memory. Cognition and back pain. Is there a relationship? Ask any Concord, NC back pain sufferer who has had the pain for a while, and you will hear just how the mind and memory just do not seem to work like normal when pain is on the mind. Pure Chiropractic gets it. Back pain specialists like yours at Pure Chiropractic understand this connection. Pain alters the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to reduce the pain, and Pure Chiropractic may propose some curcumin to foster the pain relief…and memory and cognition improvement.
CURCUMIN FOR MEMORY ISSUES
Chronic pain sufferers know that their pain affects their quality of life. It slows them down. It holds them back. They also deal with stress due to their chronic pain and non-pain-related problems which worsens their symptoms. It is a nasty cycle. These pain and stress feelings alongside emotions, learning, and memory are processed by the hippocampus. Neuropathic pain affects the nervous system, and hippocampal neurogenesis, its growth and development of nervous tissue, is aggravated by stress. (1) To push back against this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are looking to nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin decreased chronic pain and improved cognitive impairment and memory deficit associated with long-term sciatic nerve constriction. Researchers explain that hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity improvements may be acknowledged, so we’ll just do that (and be grateful that researchers understand the process!) instead of working to fully understand them ourselves. (2) Pure Chiropractic cares for many Concord, NC leg pain patients and their pain relief from a compressed and irritated sciatic nerve. Curcumin may help both memory and sciatica!
CURCUMIN FOR SCIATICA
There is convincing evidence that curcumin has an important role in the treatment of pathological pain due to sciatic nerve injury, neuropathy and the like. (3) Current drugs for acute pain (opioids, NSAIDs, acetaminophen and such) help but come with side-effects (renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and have a potential for abuse. This persuaded some researchers to look at curcumin more closely. Curcumin is reported to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic pain-reducing effects…without the side-effects. (4) Other researchers found that nanocurcumin (a soluble form of curcumin) stopped pain-related behavior, reduced inflammatory markers and enhanced memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be suitable for your Concord, NC back pain condition, too. Pure Chiropractic will delve into this with you at your next Concord, NC chiropractic visit.
