Medical Marijuana to treat chronic pain

first off we want to express our compassion for all of you Reading this article that experience chronic pain a daily basis I know the pain has a broad effect on a person's life including:

• their sleep 
• their enjoyment of pleasurable activities 
• the health of their relationships
• productivity at work 
• their relationship with themselves

We talked to a lot of patients that feel like they don't even know who they are anymore, because all they know is their daily intense pain. And we want to talk to you about some good options for helping treat this pain and helping you get your life back.

Most of the conventional medical treatments for chronic pain don't work very well, these are opioids primarily, drugs like oxycodone hydrocodone percocet.

Generally medications that have been used very successfully to treat acute pain and post-surgical pain, the problem when using them to treat chronic pain is that their effects start to diminish over time they require a higher and higher dose overtime and generally they don't solve the problem of helping people improve the quality of their lives, it's just a temporary fix with some substantial side effects.

Other conventional treatments for chronic pain include seizure medications, and gabapentin, and lyrica non-steroidal, anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen and naproxen antidepressant drugs which can help with associated depression and sometimes decreased pain. But really these are all management options that don't solve the problem and they don't help that much,  There's lot of patients that are very dissatisfied with the results are getting from the conventional treatments. So we like to explain to you another option therapeutic option that comes directly from nature, that safe effective and very useful in patients with chronic pain.

 Medical Marijuana to treat chronic pain

There's a thousands of people use medical marijuana to treat chronic pain very successfully often as a single therapy sometimes in combination with other therapies

The benefits of medical marijuana are quite profound and really impressive in patients that have failed multiple other treatments including all the drugs that mentioned and surgeries, when I talk to people that are using medical marijuana and they tell me about how it's helping them I always hear similar story number one they say doc you know it's really decreasing the intensity of my pain, the pain doesn't feel as strong but even more than that it's changing the quality of my pain it's putting it in the back birds, it's changing the pain is something that isn't right in front of me all the time grabbing my attention, ruling my life, but it's something that I can tune out and get past and get on with my day get on with my work play with my kids make love with my partner, it's something that allows me to get back to my life it brings people into the present moment, and I think that's part of the effect, someone in chronic pain often has this fight or flight state of the nervous system which impairs their ability to make good rational decisions and makes them more likely to react emotionally and irrationally to situations and stressors

Cannabis not only treat the pain itself, but also treats the whole person so when I want a person uses cannabis or marijuana to treat the pain, they often find that they're sleeping better their stress level  goes way down, there feeling like they know who they are again and they're feeling a sense of connection to something greater than themselves, whether that's a spiritual connection or a connection with nature, they feel like they've been let out of this little box that the chronic pain has put your life into it also helps as a muscle relaxant so people with chronic pain are usually in this cycle where the pain causes muscle tension angel needs two more stress than that leads to more pain and the cycle goes around and around.

So when people use cannabis all of a sudden their bodies feel more loose they feel more active, and more alive and they're getting out and taking a walk or taken or spending some time stretching or participating in life and movement in activity that's really beneficial.

Side effect of Marijuana Treatement

When you look at the side effects of marijuana in comparison with all the other drugs that I've mentioned it's much much safer much more effective, and the side effects are mild and very easily tolerated or removed by adjusting the dosage string in the delivery system of medical marijuana and you can read some other articles for information about how to best use this to treat pain

The last thing I want to suggest is that when a medicine comes from nature, in its natural form it works with your body to promote healing and engages your systems healing response, i believe that everyone in chronic pain has some activity within them in their body and their mind in their spirit that wants to heal and if we can augment that desire to heal and help someone really achieve some of these positive changes in their life, it starts to gain momentum and we see they're doing better and better and better all the time

I really believe that medical marijuana is one of the best treatments for chronic
