Most Chiropractic Clinic Highlights Curcumin's Benefit for Neurological Diseases
4000 years of consumption. That’s some history! Curcumin claims it. (Chiropractic delights in its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern countries like China and India offers much fodder to researchers to investigate just what an impact it makes on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin as an anti-inflammatory substance is finding credit for positive influence on neurological diseases, cell death, and pain. Most Chiropractic Clinic continues to study curcumin’s beneficial role in potential inflammation and Murfreesboro back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin has an expansive history of usage going back 4000 years (1) yet a shorter history of use currently for its ability to modulate levels of various brain neurotransmitters in addition to stopping cell death. Curcumin affects inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes. (2) Ten years ago researchers posited that curcumin could be a “future drug of therapy for the treatment of various neurological disorders.” Diabetic neuropathy, tardive dyskinesia, and major depression are a few of those such orders. They called for additional clinical studies back then to place curcumin into therapeutic use due to its “neuroprotective action” in diseases like Alzheimer’s, tardive dyskinesia, major depression, epilepsy, and other such neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may add to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to slow or halt reactive astrocyte expression and thereby preventing cell death is beneficial. (3) Your Murfreesboro chiropractor knows the role of cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and values the potential curcumin has in dealing with cell death and decreasing inflammation and thereby decreasing Murfreesboro back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the optimal way to integrate curcumin for greatest benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A curcumin rich diet is reported to counteract diseases like cancer and diabetes as well as reduce inflammation. A recent paper on curcumin reveals the role curcumin plays in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and more). In an effort to bring more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the researchers present the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes regarding the use of curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Most Chiropractic Clinic realizes many Murfreesboro chiropractic patients will go the supplementation route as it’s simple and effective. Most Chiropractic Clinic will suggest what’s right for you and your Murfreesboro chiropractic treatment plan.
