Pflugerville Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin

Memory and back pain. Back pain and cognition. Is there a relationship? Ask any Pflugerville back pain sufferer who’s 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. Pflugerville Wellness Center understands. Back pain specialists like yours at Pflugerville Wellness Center understand this connection. Pain affects the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease the pain, and Pflugerville Wellness Center may suggest 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 have stress because of their chronic pain and non-pain-related issues which exacerbates their symptoms. It’s a vicious 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 fight this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are researching 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’ll just thank them (and be grateful that researchers understand the process!) instead of working to totally get them ourselves. (2) Pflugerville Wellness Center cares for many Pflugerville leg pain patients and their pain relief from a compressed and irritated sciatic nerve. Curcumin may improve both memory and sciatica!

CURCUMIN FOR SCIATICA

There is compelling evidence that curcumin plays an important role in the treatment of pathological pain stemming from sciatic nerve injury, neuropathy and the like. (3) Current drugs for acute pain (opioids, NSAIDs, acetaminophen and such) help but also have side-effects (renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and hold a potential for abuse. This stimulated 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) ended pain-related behavior, reduced inflammatory markers and improved memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be appropriate for your Pflugerville back pain condition, too. Pflugerville Wellness Center will explore this with you at your next Pflugerville chiropractic appointment.
