Fort Wayne Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Memory and back pain. Back pain and cognition. Is there a relationship? Ask any Fort Wayne back pain sufferer who has had the pain for some time, and you will hear just how the mind and memory just don’t seem to function like normal when pain is on the mind. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic gets it. Back pain specialists like yours at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic understand this connection. Pain affects the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to reduce the pain, and Aaron Chiropractic Clinic 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 experience stress due to their chronic pain and non-pain-related problems which aggravates their symptoms. It is a vicious 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 studying nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin decreased 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 do that (and be grateful that researchers know the process!) instead of working to totally get them ourselves. (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic cares for many Fort Wayne 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 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 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 found that nanocurcumin (a soluble form of curcumin) ended pain-related behavior, decreased inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be suitable for your Fort Wayne back pain condition, too. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic will explore this with you at your next Fort Wayne chiropractic appointment.
