Memory and back
pain. Back pain and cognition. Is there a link?
Ask any Tonawanda 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 function like normal when pain is in
play. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation understand this connection. Pain alters
the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease
the pain, and Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation may propose some curcumin to foster 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 have stress because
of their chronic pain and non-pain-related issues
which exacerbates their symptoms. It’s a nasty
cycle. These pain and stress feelings alongside 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 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 thank them (and be grateful that researchers understand the
process!) instead of working to fully understand them
ourselves. (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation cares for many Tonawanda
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 role in the
treatment of pathological pain due to sciatic nerve injury,
neuropathy and the like. (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 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 discovered that nanocurcumin (a
soluble form of curcumin) stopped pain-related behavior, reduced
inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial
learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be appropriate
for your Tonawanda back pain condition, too. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation will delve
into this with you at your next Tonawanda chiropractic appointment.
