Tonawanda Back Pain May Leave Your Cognition A Bit Fuzzy Bee Pollen May be of Help
Back pain can leave its sufferer feeling somewhat unclear. Cognitive impairment and back pain come together for some. Cognitive impairment is not an issue you’d think “chiropractic,” but it’s a topic your Tonawanda chiropractor thinks about as it is seen in low back pain patients. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation watchfully observes our Tonawanda back pain and neck pain patients for their handling of the condition. Some are fine; others have a little trouble. We’ll be sure to help with any issues like this. New studies discuss how bee pollen may be beneficial in managing.
COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION AND BACK PAIN
Lumbar spine degenerated disc disease is a growing concern globally as the world’s population grows older. Dementia has been associated with lumbar degenerative disc disease as a result of physical dysfunction, quality of life, and pain. Particularly, one study stated that 41% of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis experienced mild cognitive impairment. (1) Brief, easy screening tests and questionnaires can efficiently detect cognitive impairment. Once found, cognitive impairment may be challenged by interventions like cognitive stimulation and training, exercise, medications, and supplements which demonstrated some good effects on patients’ physical and cognitive function though not curative. (2) Chiropractic is ready to play a key role in back pain management. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation works to decrease the back pain with our Tonawanda chiropractic treatment plan in hopes of reducing the cognitive dysfunction exacerbated by the stress of pain.
BEE POLLEN FOR COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION, ANXIETY
Researchers described chronic stress as a possible problem associated with anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. (Tonawanda chiropractic patients know the stress that comes with back pain!) With bee pollen’s therapeutic effects reported to be related to its powerful antioxidant quality, an analysis of Anatolian bee pollen’s effect on depression and anxiety found that it reduced anxiety-like behavior in the study’s rats. The researchers explained that the bee pollen decreased oxidative damage and neuroinflammation caused by immobilization stress. (3) That’s a novel approach Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation has not heard of often!
BEE POLLEN FOR COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION
Bee pollen’s use in public health goes back into ancient times. The important health and medicinal properties make it full of nutrition. Made of plant pollen and honeybee secretions and nectar, bee pollen has bioactive compounds including proteins, amino acids, lipids, minerals, vitamins, polyphenols, and carbohydrates. Components of bee pollen are reported to enhance a variety of bodily functions and protect against many diseases. (4) One such disease is cognitive dysfunction. A recent report discusses the way by which bee pollen enhances cognitive impairment that is brought on by “cholinergic blockade.” How? It gets down to the cellular level which is a bit complex and explicable by an alphabet soup of proteins like proBNDF, tPa, ERK-CREB, Akt-GSK-3. Bottomline: The researchers end up suggesting that bee pollen would be a valuable agent for treating cognitive dysfunction. (5) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation presents findings like this as spine pain, back pain, neck pain, etc., are complex conditions involving many factors which frequently call for just as many different approaches like spinal manipulation, nutrition, exercise, rest, etc.
