Juneau Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Memory and back pain. Back pain and cognition. Is there a link? Ask any Juneau back pain sufferer who’s had the pain for some time, and you will hear just how the mind and memory just don’t seem to work like normal when pain is in play. Aurora Chiropractic Center gets it. Back pain specialists like yours at Aurora Chiropractic Center understand this connection. Pain disturbs the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease the pain, and Aurora Chiropractic Center may suggest some curcumin to foster the pain relief…and memory and cognition improvement.
CURCUMIN FOR MEMORY ISSUES
Chronic pain sufferers know that their pain influences 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 exacerbates their symptoms. It’s a vicious cycle. These pain and stress feelings alongside 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 aggravated by stress. (1) To push back against this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are researching nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin eased 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 understand the process!) instead of working to totally understand them ourselves. (2) Aurora Chiropractic Center cares for many Juneau 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 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 also have side-effects (renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and have a potential for abuse. This stimulated some researchers to study curcumin more. 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) ended pain-related behavior, reduced inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be appropriate for your Juneau back pain condition, too. Aurora Chiropractic Center will delve into this with you at your next Juneau chiropractic appointment.
