Back pain and Memory. Back pain and cognition. Is there a link?
Ask any Fernandina Beach 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. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic understand this connection. Pain disturbs
the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to reduce
the pain, and Amelia 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 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 aggravates their symptoms. It is a nasty
cycle. These pain and stress feelings alongside emotions,
learning, and memory are managed 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 decreased chronic pain
and improved cognitive impairment and memory deficit linked to 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 know the
process!) instead of working to totally get them
ourselves. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic cares for many Fernandina Beach
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 compelling
evidence that curcumin plays an important role in the
treatment of pathological pain due to sciatic nerve injury,
neuropathy and such. (3) Current drugs for acute pain (opioids,
NSAIDs, acetaminophen and such) help but come with side-effects
(renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and have a
potential for abuse. This persuaded 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 Fernandina Beach back pain condition, too. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic will explore this with you at your next Fernandina Beach chiropractic visit.
