Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Kurt Olding on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes both The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as well as the healthcare path for back pain relief that is often confusing and non-congruent with current recommendations for the non-surgical, conservative care of back pain.
Turmeric (curcuma longa L.) is a plant well-known for its anti-inflammatory aspects due to its polyphenolic curcuminoids. In a scoping review of published papers, researchers concluded that current evidence is great that suggests clinical benefit from taking turmeric for its anti-inflammatory benefits, especially in inflammation-linked diseases like obesity-related metabolic disorders or musculoskeletal disorders (like back and neck pain).

In the meantime, let’s have a conversation about how turmeric’s addition to your nutrition plan may enhance your pain relief and healing.
