Carrolltown Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Back pain and Memory. Cognition and back pain. Is there a relationship? Ask any Carrolltown back pain sufferer who’s had the pain for some time, and you will hear just how the mind and memory just do not seem to work like normal when pain is in play. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation understand this connection. Pain affects the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease the pain, and Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation may propose some curcumin to aid in the pain relief…and memory and cognition recovery.
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 deal with stress because of their chronic pain and non-pain-related issues which exacerbates 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 impacts the nervous system, and hippocampal neurogenesis, its growth and development of nervous tissue, is exacerbated by stress. (1) To fight 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 thank them (and be grateful that researchers know the process!) instead of working to fully get them ourselves. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation cares for many Carrolltown 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 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 hold a potential for abuse. This stimulated 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 discovered that nanocurcumin (a soluble form of curcumin) ended pain-related behavior, decreased inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be suitable for your Carrolltown back pain condition, too. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation will explore this with you at your next Carrolltown chiropractic appointment.
