Manahawkin Chiropractic Center Highlights Curcumin's Benefit for Neurological Diseases
4000 years of use. That’s some history! Curcumin owns it. (Chiropractic enjoys its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern countries like China and India gives much fodder to researchers to see just what an impact it has on disease. And there is a difference! Curcumin‘s anti-inflammatory property is gaining recognition for positive influence on neurological diseases, cell death, and pain. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center continues to study curcumin’s positive role in possible inflammation and Manahawkin back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin holds an expansive history of usage over 4000 years (1) yet a briefer history of use in present day for its ability to control levels of a variety of neurotransmitters in the brain as well as preventing cell death. Curcumin affects inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes. (2) Ten years ago researchers posited that curcumin may well be a “future drug of therapy for the treatment of various neurological disorders.” Diabetic neuropathy, tardive dyskinesia, and major depression are a few of those such orders. They called for further clinical studies back then to place curcumin into therapeutic use because of its “neuroprotective action” in diseases like Alzheimer’s, tardive dyskinesia, major depression, epilepsy, and other such neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may contribute to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to slow or halt reactive astrocyte expression and thereby preventing cell death is beneficial. (3) Your Manahawkin chiropractor knows the role of cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and appreciates the potential curcumin possesses in addressing cell death and decreasing inflammation and thus decreasing Manahawkin back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the optimal way to incorporate curcumin for maximal benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A curcumin rich diet is written to counteract diseases like cancer and diabetes as well as reduce inflammation. A recent paper on curcumin reveals the role curcumin plays in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and more). In an effort to bring more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the researchers present the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes regarding the use of curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows many Manahawkin chiropractic patients would like the simpler supplementation route which is quite easy and effective. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center will share what is right for you and your Manahawkin chiropractic treatment plan.
