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.
