Turmeric for Chronic Pain

Turmeric is one of the most popular herbal supplements in the world. This highly prized spice is valued for its rich color and flavor profile, both the result of high concentrations of curcumin, a plant polyphenol that also imparts therapeutic antioxidant properties.
A natural antidote to inflammation, supplements made from curcumin are popular among athletes and active adults seeking alternatives to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) — and with good reason. Curcumin is clinically proven to reduce post-workout soreness caused by muscle damage and inflammation.[i]
But how does turmeric rate against the effects of chronic pain? According to recent studies, the anti-inflammatory power of turmeric stands up against popular NSAID drugs, without potentially toxic side effects.
Chronic Pain Affects 1 in 5 Adults
Although estimates vary, chronic pain is believed to affect more than 20% of U.S. adults[ii] and is a virulent symptom of articular joint disease. Pain can derive from structural changes within the joint, such as destruction of bone and protective cartilage, and the development of adhesions that interfere with joint movement. Pain can also result from chronic inflammation in and around the joint and surrounding ligaments and tendons.
Arthritis is a general term for any type of inflammatory joint condition.[iii] Osteoarthritis, often referred to as “wear and tear disease,” is the most common articular disease leading to chronic pain and severe disability.[iv] The effectiveness of curcumin supplementation for joint protection is well documented, with ongoing studies on this herbal therapeutic as a treatment for chronic pain associated with articular disease.
