New York City Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Memory and back pain. Back pain and cognition. Is there a relationship? Ask any New York City 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 on the mind. Rosenberg Wellness Center understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Rosenberg Wellness Center understand this connection. Pain alters the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to reduce the pain, and Rosenberg Wellness Center may propose some curcumin to foster the pain relief…and memory and cognition recovery.
CURCUMIN FOR MEMORY ISSUES
Chronic pain sufferers know that their pain influences 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 worsens their symptoms. It’s a nasty 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 aggravated by stress. (1) To fight this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are researching nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin reduced chronic pain and improved cognitive impairment and memory deficit associated with long-term sciatic nerve constriction. Researchers describe how hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity improvements may be thanked, so we will just thank them (and be grateful that researchers understand the process!) instead of working to totally get them ourselves. (2) Rosenberg Wellness Center treats many New York City 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 has an important part 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 come with side-effects (renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and hold a potential for abuse. This stimulated a few 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) prevented pain-related behavior, reduced inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be applicable for your New York City back pain condition, too. Rosenberg Wellness Center will explore this with you at your next New York City chiropractic appointment.
