Minster Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Back pain and Memory. Cognition and back pain. Is there a relationship? Ask any Minster back pain sufferer who has had the pain for a while, and you will hear just how the mind and memory just don’t seem to function like normal when pain is on the mind. Minster Chiropractic Center understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Minster Chiropractic Center understand this connection. Pain disturbs the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease the pain, and Minster Chiropractic Center may suggest some curcumin to aid in 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 issues which worsens their symptoms. It is a nasty cycle. These pain and stress feelings as well as 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 combat this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are studying nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin decreased chronic pain and enhanced cognitive impairment and memory deficit linked to long-term sciatic nerve constriction. Researchers describe how hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity improvements may be acknowledged, so we’ll just do that (and be grateful that researchers know the process!) instead of working to totally get them ourselves. (2) Minster Chiropractic Center treats many Minster leg pain patients and their pain relief due to a compressed and irritated sciatic nerve. Curcumin may improve both memory and sciatica!
CURCUMIN FOR SCIATICA
There is compelling evidence that curcumin plays an important part in the treatment of pathological pain stemming from sciatic nerve injury, neuropathy and such. (3) Current drugs for acute pain (opioids, NSAIDs, acetaminophen and such) help but come with side-effects (renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and hold a potential for abuse. This persuaded some researchers to study curcumin more. Curcumin is said 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, decreased inflammatory markers and enhanced memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be appropriate for your Minster back pain condition, too. Minster Chiropractic Center will delve into this with you at your next Minster chiropractic appointment.
