Memory and back
pain. Back pain and cognition. Is there a link?
Ask any Oxford 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 on the mind. Satterwhite Chiropractic gets it. Back pain specialists like yours at Satterwhite Chiropractic understand this connection. Pain disturbs
the brain and its memory function. Chiropractic care works to decrease
the pain, and Satterwhite Chiropractic may propose some curcumin to aid
in 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 problems
which exacerbates their symptoms. It is a nasty
cycle. These pain and stress feelings as well as emotions,
learning, and memory are managed by the hippocampus.
Neuropathic pain affects the nervous system, and hippocampal
neurogenesis, its growth and development of nervous tissue, is aggravated
by stress. (1) To fight this negative effect on
the nervous system, researchers are researching
nutrients like curcumin. Curcumin eased chronic pain
and improved cognitive impairment and memory deficit linked to long-term sciatic nerve constriction. Researchers explain that hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity
improvements may be thanked, so we’ll just thank them (and be grateful that researchers know the
process!) instead of working to fully get them
ourselves. (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic cares for many Oxford
leg pain patients and their pain relief from a compressed and
irritated sciatic nerve. Curcumin may help both memory and
sciatica!
CURCUMIN FOR SCIATICA
There is compelling
evidence that curcumin plays an important role 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 persuaded some researchers
to study curcumin more. Curcumin is said
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, decreased
inflammatory markers and enhanced memory deficient and spatial
learning in chronically constricted rats. (5) Curcumin may be applicable
for your Oxford back pain condition, too. Satterwhite Chiropractic will delve
into this with you at your next Oxford chiropractic appointment.
