Memory and back
pain. Cognition and back pain. Is there a link?
Ask any Fort Wayne back pain sufferer who has had the pain
for some time, and you will hear just how the mind and memory just
do not seem to work like normal when pain is on the mind. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc gets it. Back pain specialists like yours at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc understand this connection. Pain alters
the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease
the pain, and Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc may suggest some curcumin to aid
in the pain relief…and memory and cognition recovery.
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 deal with stress due to their chronic pain and non-pain-related problems
which worsens their symptoms. It’s a vicious
cycle. These pain and stress feelings as well as 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 combat this negative effect on
the nervous system, researchers are researching
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 totally get them
ourselves. (2) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc treats many Fort Wayne
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 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 have a
potential for abuse. This stimulated some researchers
to study curcumin more. Curcumin is said
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 enhanced memory deficient and spatial
learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be suitable
for your Fort Wayne back pain condition, too. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc will explore this with you at your next Fort Wayne chiropractic visit.
