Montreal Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Memory and back pain. Cognition and back pain. Is there a link? Ask any Montreal back pain sufferer who has had the pain for a while, and you will hear just how the mind and memory just don’t seem to function like normal when pain is on the mind. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic gets it. Back pain specialists like yours at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic understand this connection. Pain affects the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease the pain, and Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic may suggest 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 due to their chronic pain and non-pain-related issues which worsens their symptoms. It’s a vicious 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 aggravated by stress. (1) To push back against this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are looking to nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin reduced chronic pain and improved cognitive impairment and memory deficit linked to long-term sciatic nerve constriction. Researchers explain that hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity improvements may be acknowledged, so we will just do that (and be grateful that researchers understand the process!) instead of working to totally understand them ourselves. (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic cares for many Montreal leg pain patients and their pain relief due to a compressed and irritated sciatic nerve. Curcumin may help both memory and sciatica!
CURCUMIN FOR SCIATICA
There is compelling evidence that curcumin has 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 have a potential for abuse. This prompted 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 suitable for your Montreal back pain condition, too. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic will explore this with you at your next Montreal chiropractic visit.
