Groton Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Back pain and Memory. Cognition and back pain. Is there a link? 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 in play. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office understand this connection. Pain affects the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease the pain, and Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office may propose some curcumin to aid in the pain relief…and memory and cognition recovery.
CURCUMIN FOR MEMORY ISSUES
Chronic pain sufferers recognize that their pain influences their quality of life. It slows them down. It holds them back. They also have 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 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 push back against this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are looking to nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin reduced chronic pain and improved cognitive impairment and memory deficit linked to long-term sciatic nerve constriction. Researchers describe how hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity improvements may be thanked, so we will just do that (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 due to a compressed and irritated sciatic nerve. Curcumin may improve both memory and sciatica!
CURCUMIN FOR SCIATICA
There is compelling evidence that curcumin has 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 come with side-effects (renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and have a potential for abuse. This prompted a few researchers to study curcumin more. 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) prevented pain-related behavior, reduced inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be suitable for your Groton back pain condition, too. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office will explore this with you at your next Groton chiropractic appointment.
