Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic Highlights Curcumin's Benefit for Neurological Diseases

4000 years of use. That’s some history! Curcumin owns it. (Chiropractic enjoys its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern countries like China and India provides much fodder to researchers to examine just what an influence it makes on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin‘s anti-inflammatory capability is finding recognition for positive influence on neurological diseases, cell death, and pain. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic remains interested in curcumin’s beneficial role in possible inflammation and Montreal back pain reduction.

CURCUMIN HISTORY

Curcumin holds an expansive history of use going back 4000 years (1) yet a shorter history of use in present day for its ability to control levels of various brain neurotransmitters as well as preventing cell death. Curcumin influences inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers speculated that curcumin may well be a “future drug of therapy for the treatment of various neurological disorders.” Diabetic neuropathy, tardive dyskinesia, and major depression are a few of those such orders. They called for more clinical studies back then to place curcumin into therapeutic use because of its “neuroprotective action” in diseases like Alzheimer’s, tardive dyskinesia, major depression, epilepsy, and other such neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may contribute to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to slow or stop reactive astrocyte expression and thereby preventing cell death is beneficial. (3) Your Montreal chiropractor understands the role of cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and appreciates the potential curcumin has in addressing cell death and reducing inflammation and thus reducing Montreal back pain.

CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION

What is the best way to incorporate curcumin for greatest benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A curcumin rich diet is written to offset diseases like cancer and diabetes as well as reduce inflammation. A new report on curcumin brings to light the role curcumin plays in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and more). In an effort to bring more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the authors present the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes of using curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic realizes many Montreal chiropractic patients will go the supplementation route as it’s easy and effective. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic will suggest what’s right for you and your Montreal chiropractic treatment plan.
