Pain

For years, CBD has been recommended by medical professionals and holistic healers around the world for being one of the best perceived natural approaches to reducing chronic pain. Even more recently, health practitioners have started recommending CBD for the treatment of more common symptoms like migraines and chronic neck, knee, and back pain. Here in the United States, new exciting applications are being tested to identify the true potential of CBD as a treatment option for more severe conditions like multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia.

Case Developments

Studies suggest that cannabinoids may prove quite beneficial in pain modulation specifically by inhibiting neuronal transmission in pain pathways. A study in 2012, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, identified that CBD drastically suppressed chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain in rodents. Additionally, it did this without causing analgesic tolerance. Scientists believe that CBD and other nonpsychoactive components of cannabis may denote a new class of therapeutic agents for treating chronic pain.
