Sitka Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Memory and back pain. Back pain and cognition. Is there a link? Ask any Sitka 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 on the mind. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka understand this connection. Pain alters the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease the pain, and Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka may suggest some curcumin to foster the pain relief…and memory and cognition improvement.
CURCUMIN FOR MEMORY ISSUES
Chronic pain sufferers know that their pain influences their quality of life. It slows them down. It holds them back. They also deal with stress because of their chronic pain and non-pain-related issues which aggravates their symptoms. It is a vicious cycle. These pain and stress feelings as well as 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 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 explain that hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity improvements may be acknowledged, so we’ll just do that (and be grateful that researchers understand the process!) instead of working to totally get them ourselves. (2) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka treats many Sitka leg pain patients and their pain relief due to 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 also have side-effects (renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and have a potential for abuse. This persuaded some 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) stopped pain-related behavior, decreased inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be suitable for your Sitka back pain condition, too. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka will explore this with you at your next Sitka chiropractic appointment.
