Chronic pain is very complex and difficult to treat. From a healthcare provider perspective, finding nonaddictive pain relief for our patients can be a challenge. Opioid use in Canada is at an all time high and the rate of overdose is disheartening and tragic. From someone who has benefited from the short term effects of an opioid and felt the longterm negative impacts, I was determined to find an alternative to managing the chronic pain I feel daily in my leg and ankle from a traumatic event in 2017.
In this episode, I talk about some current research on CBD and pain.

Health Topic: CBD and Pain
What is it?: CBD oil (cannabidoil) comes from cannabis and is non-psychoactive. It has been used to treat pain since 2900 B.C. It comes in different forms, and purities. CBD used with small amounts of THC have also been shown to help reduce the pain experience.
THE TAKE AWAY:
If you’re curious to learn more about if CBD would be helpful in managing certain ailments, reach out to your healthcare provider to talk more about specific dosing and purities, before starting. It can be an expensive venture to start blindly and CBD oil is not covered under most extended medical plans. The use of pain medication is absolutely necessary in some cases, but the overused and overprescribed opioid drugs can have a harmful impact on our bodies and communities.
