Back pain and Memory. Cognition and back pain. Is there a relationship?
Ask any Manahawkin 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 work like normal when pain is in
play. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center gets it. Back pain specialists like yours at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center understand this connection. Pain alters
the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease
the pain, and Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 issues
which exacerbates their symptoms. It is a vicious
cycle. These pain and stress feelings as well as emotions,
learning, and memory are processed 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 push back against this negative effect on
the nervous system, researchers are studying
nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin eased chronic pain
and improved cognitive impairment and memory deficit associated
with 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) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center treats many Manahawkin
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 due to sciatic nerve injury,
neuropathy and such. (3) Current drugs for acute pain (opioids,
NSAIDs, acetaminophen and such) help but also have side-effects
(renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and have a
potential for abuse. This stimulated a few researchers
to study curcumin more. 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 suitable
for your Manahawkin back pain condition, too. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center will explore this with you at your next Manahawkin chiropractic appointment.
