Memory and back
pain. Cognition and back pain. Is there a link?
Ask any Murfreesboro 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 function like normal when pain is on the mind. Most Chiropractic Clinic gets it. Back pain specialists like yours at Most Chiropractic Clinic understand this connection. Pain affects
the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to reduce
the pain, and Most Chiropractic Clinic may propose some curcumin to foster the pain relief…and memory and cognition recovery.
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 experience stress due to their chronic pain and non-pain-related problems
which aggravates their symptoms. It is a nasty
cycle. These pain and stress feelings alongside emotions,
learning, and memory are processed by the hippocampus.
Neuropathic pain impacts the nervous system, and hippocampal
neurogenesis, its growth and development of nervous tissue, is aggravated
by stress. (1) To combat this negative effect on
the nervous system, researchers are looking to
nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin eased chronic pain
and improved cognitive impairment and memory deficit associated
with long-term sciatic nerve constriction. Researchers explain that hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity
improvements may be thanked, so we’ll just thank them (and be grateful that researchers understand the
process!) instead of working to fully get them
ourselves. (2) Most Chiropractic Clinic cares for many Murfreesboro
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 convincing
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 hold a
potential for abuse. This stimulated some 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, reduced
inflammatory markers and enhanced memory deficient and spatial
learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be appropriate
for your Murfreesboro back pain condition, too. Most Chiropractic Clinic will explore this with you at your next Murfreesboro chiropractic visit.
