Williamson Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Memory and back pain. Cognition and back pain. Is there a link? Ask any Williamson back pain sufferer who’s had the pain for a while, and you will hear just how the mind and memory just don’t seem to work like normal when pain is in play. Apple Country Chiropractic understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Apple Country Chiropractic understand this connection. Pain alters the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to reduce the pain, and Apple Country Chiropractic 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 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 issues which exacerbates their symptoms. It’s a nasty cycle. These pain and stress feelings as well as emotions, learning, and memory are processed 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 push back against 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 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 totally get them ourselves. (2) Apple Country Chiropractic cares for many Williamson 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 come with side-effects (renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and hold a potential for abuse. This prompted 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 found that nanocurcumin (a soluble form of curcumin) prevented pain-related behavior, decreased inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be applicable for your Williamson back pain condition, too. Apple Country Chiropractic will explore this with you at your next Williamson chiropractic appointment.
