Ashburn Leg Pain and Memory Benefit from Curcumin

Back pain and Memory. Back pain and cognition. Is there a link? Ask any Ashburn back pain sufferer who’s had the pain for some time, and you will hear just how the mind and memory just don’t seem to function like normal when pain is in play. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn gets it. Back pain specialists like yours at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn understand this connection. Pain affects the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to reduce the pain, and Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn may propose some curcumin to foster the pain relief…and memory and cognition improvement.

CURCUMIN FOR MEMORY ISSUES

Chronic pain sufferers recognize that their pain affects 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 worsens their symptoms. It’s a nasty 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 decreased chronic pain and enhanced cognitive impairment and memory deficit associated with long-term sciatic nerve constriction. Researchers describe how hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity improvements may be thanked, so we will just do that (and be grateful that researchers understand the process!) instead of working to fully understand them ourselves. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn treats many Ashburn 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 convincing evidence that curcumin has an important part in the treatment of pathological pain due to sciatic nerve injury, neuropathy and the like. (3) Current drugs for acute pain (opioids, NSAIDs, acetaminophen and such) help but come with side-effects (renal, liver, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal) and hold 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 discovered that nanocurcumin (a soluble form of curcumin) ended pain-related behavior, decreased inflammatory markers and enhanced memory deficient and spatial learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be suitable for your Ashburn back pain condition, too. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn will explore this with you at your next Ashburn chiropractic visit.
