Fort Wayne Back Pain May Leave Your Cognition A Bit Fuzzy Bee Pollen May be of Help

Back pain can leave its sufferer feeling somewhat unclear. Cognitive impairment and back pain go together for some. Cognitive impairment isn’t a topic you would think “chiropractic,” but it’s a topic your Fort Wayne chiropractor thinks about as it is seen in low back pain patients. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic carefully observes our Fort Wayne back pain and neck pain patients for their managing the condition. Some are fine; others struggle a bit. We will be sure to help with any issues like this. Recent studies talk about bee pollen as being beneficial in helping.

COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION AND BACK PAIN

Lumbar spine degenerated disc disease is an expanding concern globally as the world’s population ages. Dementia has been linked to lumbar degenerative disc disease due to physical dysfunction, quality of life, and pain. Particularly, one study stated that 41% of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis experienced mild cognitive impairment. (1) Brief, easy screening tests and questionnaires can efficiently detect cognitive impairment. Once detected, cognitive impairment may be confronted by interventions like cognitive stimulation and training, exercise, medications, and supplements which showed some beneficial effects on patients’ physical and cognitive function though not curative. (2) Chiropractic is ready to play a key role in back pain management. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic works to reduce the back pain with our Fort Wayne chiropractic treatment plan in hopes of reducing the cognitive dysfunction exacerbated by the stress of pain.

BEE POLLEN FOR COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION, ANXIETY

Researchers described chronic stress as a potential issue associated with anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. (Fort Wayne chiropractic patients know the stress that comes with back pain!) With bee pollen’s therapeutic effects reported to be related to its powerful antioxidant quality, an analysis of Anatolian bee pollen’s effect on depression and anxiety found that it decreased anxiety-like behavior in the study’s rats. The researchers explained that the bee pollen decreased oxidative damage and neuroinflammation caused by immobilization stress. (3) That’s a novel approach Aaron Chiropractic Clinic hasn’t heard of often!

BEE POLLEN FOR COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION

Bee pollen’s use in public health dates back to old, old times. The important health and medicinal properties make it full of nutrition. Made of plant pollen and honeybee secretions and nectar, bee pollen has bioactive compounds including proteins, amino acids, lipids, minerals, vitamins, polyphenols, and carbohydrates. Components of bee pollen are reported to enhance a variety of bodily functions and protect against many diseases. (4) One such disease is cognitive dysfunction. A recent report describes the way by which bee pollen ameliorates cognitive impairment that is brought on by “cholinergic blockade.” How? It gets down to the cellular level which is a little complex and explicable by an alphabet soup of proteins like proBNDF, tPa, ERK-CREB, Akt-GSK-3. Bottomline: The researchers end up suggesting that bee pollen would be a useful agent for managing cognitive dysfunction. (5) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic presents findings like this as spine pain, back pain, neck pain, etc., are complex conditions involving many parts which oftentimes call for just as many different approaches like spinal manipulation, nutrition, exercise, rest, etc.
