Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office Highlights Curcumin's Benefit for Neurological Diseases
4000 years of use. That is some history! Curcumin claims it. (Chiropractic enjoys its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern countries like China and India offers much fodder to researchers to study just what an impact it has on disease. And there is a difference! Curcumin‘s anti-inflammatory property is finding credit for positive effect on neurological diseases, cell death, and pain. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office remains interested in curcumin’s beneficial role in potential inflammation and Groton back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin has an expansive history of usage over 4000 years (1) yet a shorter history of use in present day for its ability to control levels of various neurotransmitters in the brain along with stopping cell death. Curcumin influences inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers speculated 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 requested more 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 add to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to slow or stop reactive astrocyte expression and thus preventing cell death is beneficial. (3) Your Groton chiropractor knows the role of cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and values the potential curcumin has in dealing with cell death and reducing inflammation and thus reducing Groton back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the optimal way to integrate curcumin for greatest benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A curcumin rich diet is reported to offset diseases like cancer and diabetes as well as decrease 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). To effect more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the authors share the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes regarding the use of curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office realizes many Groton chiropractic patients will go the supplementation route as it’s easy and effective. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office will suggest what’s right for you and your Groton chiropractic treatment plan.
