Plainville Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin

June 08, 2021

Memory and back pain. Back pain and cognition. Is there a link? Ask any Plainville back pain sufferer who has 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. Layden Chiropractic understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Layden Chiropractic understand this connection. Pain alters the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to reduce the pain, and Layden Chiropractic may propose some curcumin to foster the pain relief…and memory and cognition improvement.

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 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 affects the nervous system, and hippocampal neurogenesis, its growth and development of nervous tissue, is exacerbated by stress. (1) To push back against this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are researching 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 will just do that (and be grateful that researchers know the process!) instead of working to fully get them ourselves. (2) Layden Chiropractic cares for many Plainville 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 come with 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) stopped pain-related behavior, reduced inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be suitable for your Plainville back pain condition, too. Layden Chiropractic will explore this with you at your next Plainville chiropractic appointment.
