Manahawkin Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Back pain and Memory. Back pain and cognition. Is there a link? Ask any Manahawkin back pain sufferer who’s 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 in play. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center understand this connection. Pain disturbs the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease the pain, and Manahawkin Chiropractic Center may suggest some curcumin to aid in the pain relief…and memory and cognition recovery.
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 have stress due to their chronic pain and non-pain-related problems which worsens their symptoms. It’s a vicious cycle. These pain and stress feelings as well as emotions, learning, and memory are managed by the hippocampus. Neuropathic pain impacts the nervous system, and hippocampal neurogenesis, its growth and development of nervous tissue, is exacerbated by stress. (1) To combat this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are studying nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin reduced chronic pain and improved cognitive impairment and memory deficit linked to 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 totally get them ourselves. (2) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center treats many Manahawkin leg pain patients and their pain relief due to 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 such. (3) Current drugs for acute pain (opioids, NSAIDs, acetaminophen and such) help but also have side-effects (renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and have a potential for abuse. This prompted some researchers to look at curcumin more closely. Curcumin is said to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic pain-reducing effects…without the side-effects. (4) Other researchers discovered 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 suitable for your Manahawkin back pain condition, too. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center will explore this with you at your next Manahawkin chiropractic visit.
