Memory and back
pain. Back pain and cognition. Is there a relationship?
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 work like normal when pain is on the mind. Layden Chiropractic understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Layden Chiropractic understand this connection. Pain disturbs
the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease
the pain, and Layden Chiropractic 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 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 problems
which worsens their symptoms. It’s a nasty
cycle. These pain and stress feelings alongside 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 looking to
nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin eased chronic pain
and enhanced 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 treats many Plainville
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 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 a few 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 found 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 applicable
for your Plainville back pain condition, too. Layden Chiropractic will explore this with you at your next Plainville chiropractic visit.
