Groton Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin

Back pain and Memory. Back pain and cognition. Is there a relationship? Ask any Groton back pain sufferer who has had the pain for a while, and you will hear just how the mind and memory just do not seem to work like normal when pain is on the mind. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office understand this connection. Pain disturbs the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to reduce the pain, and Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office may propose some curcumin to aid in the pain relief…and memory and cognition improvement.

CURCUMIN FOR MEMORY ISSUES

Chronic pain sufferers recognize 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 nasty cycle. These pain and stress feelings alongside emotions, learning, and memory are managed 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 fight this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are researching nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin reduced 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 will just thank them (and be grateful that researchers understand the process!) instead of working to fully get them ourselves. (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office treats many Groton leg pain patients and their pain relief from 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 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 a few researchers to study curcumin more. 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) stopped pain-related behavior, decreased inflammatory markers and enhanced memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be applicable for your Groton back pain condition, too. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office will delve into this with you at your next Groton chiropractic appointment.
