Ashburn and Herndon Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Back pain and Memory. Back pain and cognition. Is there a relationship? Ask any Ashburn and Herndon back pain sufferer who’s 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 on the mind. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn understand this connection. Pain disturbs the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease the pain, and Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn 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 affects their quality of life. It slows them down. It holds them back. They also experience stress because of their chronic pain and non-pain-related problems which exacerbates their symptoms. It’s 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 push back against this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are studying nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin decreased chronic pain and enhanced cognitive impairment and memory deficit associated with long-term sciatic nerve constriction. Researchers describe how 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 get them ourselves. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn treats many Ashburn and Herndon leg pain patients and their pain relief from a compressed and irritated sciatic nerve. Curcumin may help both memory and sciatica!
CURCUMIN FOR SCIATICA
There is convincing evidence that curcumin plays an important role 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 stimulated some researchers to look at curcumin more closely. Curcumin is said to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic pain-reducing effects…without the side-effects. (4) Other researchers found that nanocurcumin (a soluble form of curcumin) stopped pain-related behavior, reduced inflammatory markers and enhanced memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be appropriate for your Ashburn and Herndon back pain condition, too. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn will explore this with you at your next Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic appointment.
