Blueberries and curcumin each extend anti-inflammatory benefits that may well help manage their effects. Layden Chiropractic appreciates these simple, tasty options to help combat inflammation in addition to the rest of the Plainville chiropractic treatment plan.

CURCUMIN’S ANTI-INFLAMMATORY IMPACT ON DISEASE

For over 4000 years, curcumin’s healthy benefits – like its ability to counter human diseases/conditions like diabetes, cancer, and inflammation - have been understood. A new study review highlighted curcumin’s effectiveness in managing neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s ALS, and MS. (1) Your Plainville chiropractor particularly values curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties for dealing with osteoarthritis (OA). A chronic degenerative disease, osteoarthritis isn’t an issue with a sure cure, but curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties stand out in their therapeutic value for OA management. Researchers particularly noted the chondroprotective effects curcumin has. (2) Up against the common treatment of OA – NSAIDs, corticosteroids, etc. – curcumin offered a protective effect against OA with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in an osteoarthritic rat study. One of the many benefits explained in this study was that arthritic conditions and serum biomarkers TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10, COMP, and CRP decreased after 4 weeks of use.
