Cannabinoids have been used for thousands of years to relieve various types of pain. Some researchers believe that CBD is a better alternative to opioids in treating intractable pathologic pain syndromes. Studies show that CBD can be effective in treating postoperative pain, chronic pain associated with multiple sclerosis, neuropathic pain, cancer pain, fibromyalgia, migraine and phantom limb pain.
There is also evidence of CBD’s effectiveness to treat pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as helping to manage spasticity, tremor, and nocturia. It has been shown to reduce pain with no side effects and improve overall well-being.
