Manchester Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin
Memory and back pain. Cognition and back pain. Is there a link? Ask any Manchester back pain sufferer who has 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. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries gets it. Back pain specialists like yours at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries understand this connection. Pain disturbs the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to reduce the pain, and Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 problems which aggravates their symptoms. It’s a vicious cycle. These pain and stress feelings alongside 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 combat this negative effect on the nervous system, researchers are studying nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin decreased chronic pain and improved cognitive impairment and memory deficit associated with long-term sciatic nerve constriction. Researchers describe how hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity improvements may be acknowledged, so we’ll just do that (and be grateful that researchers understand the process!) instead of working to fully understand them ourselves. (2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries cares for many Manchester 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 convincing evidence that curcumin plays 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 some researchers to study curcumin more. Curcumin is reported to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic pain-reducing effects…without the side-effects. (4) Other researchers discovered that nanocurcumin (a soluble form of curcumin) ended pain-related behavior, reduced inflammatory markers and enhanced memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be applicable for your Manchester back pain condition, too. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries will explore this with you at your next Manchester chiropractic visit.
