Back pain and Memory. Cognition and back pain. Is there a link?
Ask any Fort Wayne back pain sufferer who’s 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 in
play. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic understand this connection. Pain alters
the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease
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 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 exacerbates their symptoms. It’s a nasty
cycle. These pain and stress feelings as well as 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 exacerbated
by stress. (1) To fight 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 thanked, so we will just do
that (and be grateful that researchers understand the
process!) instead of working to fully get them
ourselves. (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic treats many Fort Wayne
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 due to sciatic nerve injury,
neuropathy and the like. (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 persuaded some researchers
to look at curcumin more closely. 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) ended pain-related behavior, decreased
inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial
learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be applicable
for your Fort Wayne back pain condition, too. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic will delve
into this with you at your next Fort Wayne chiropractic appointment.
