Cannabis can help with joint pain in two ways. Firstly, it deals with the pain itself. THC is the main cannabinoid responsible for this direct pain-relief, while it is assisted by the cannabinoid CBC and the terpenes Linalool and Myrcene. Together, these compounds act on the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which in turn modulates the activity of the pain sensory neurons in our body’s nervous system. Secondly, the cannabinoid CBD, and other minor cannabinoids such as CBC, reduce the root cause of most cases of joint pain; inflammation.

This reduction is aided by the terpenes pinene, caryophyllene, and humulene through our cannabinoid receptors in what is known as the Entourage Effect.

When we experience joint pain, we tend to dismiss it as a form of tiredness or ageing. From a sore neck to knee pain, it is easy to downplay the situation. I am sure we all have an older relative who can attest to that feeling of getting older. 

However, the most common form of joint pain and other forms of arthritis are present in an estimated 91 million people. That figure includes about 61 million people aged between 18-64. These figures indicate that the number of young to middle-aged adults who are suffering from arthritis or joint pain symptoms remains a huge issue. Clearly, pain and inflammation in the joints are not just the ordeals of the elderly population alone.

However, if you are battling joint pain or suffering from arthritis there may be a solution with cannabis and its ability to treat pain. 

Treating Joint Pain –The Challenge for Medical Professionals

In addition to the amount of physical pain caused, as well as a reduced quality of life, chronic joint pain can cause other adverse effects. There are economical and productivity impacts in terms of the increased cost of healthcare, disability, and more. 

For a healthcare professional, the perfect solution to joint pain or different types of arthritis continues to prove elusive. Even if prescription pain medication is commonly used to treat chronic pain, it comes without plenty of unwanted side effects. 

As such, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns against the long-term use of opioids in treating chronic pain. It notes that there is not enough evidence to support opioid therapy for chronic pain while pointing out serious risks over a longer period. With over-the-counter painkillers, health professionals suggest that individuals ingest the lowest possible doses within a short time frame.

This, however, is hardly an ideal situation for those suffering from chronic joint pain but there could well be hope with cannabis and cannabinoids. Research has suggested that medical cannabis may have the potential to improve joint pain management. 

Although scientific research and findings are still in the preliminary stage, evidence suggests that the therapeutic capabilities of cannabis as a treatment for joint pain are highly encouraging. Indeed cannabis seems to be something of an anti-inflammatory agent for a number of health conditions.
