Introduction
Chronic pain can make everyday activities challenging and affect your quality of life. For many patients, traditional treatments such as medications or physical therapy may not provide sufficient relief. Medical cannabis is increasingly being explored as a supportive option under clinical supervision. At CannaUnity, we provide personalised guidance to help patients safely manage pain and improve daily functioning.
How Cannabis Supports Pain Relief
Cannabis contains compounds called cannabinoids, primarily THC and CBD, which interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system — a network that helps regulate pain, inflammation, and mood. Research suggests medical cannabis may provide relief for patients with:
- Neuropathic pain – Pain originating from nerve damage or dysfunction.
- Fibromyalgia – Widespread pain, fatigue, and cognitive challenges.
- Arthritis – Joint stiffness and inflammation from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
- Muscle spasms – Painful involuntary contractions affecting mobility and sleep.
Cannabis is not a cure but may improve comfort and quality of life when integrated into a structured pain management plan.
Preparing for Your Consultation
A productive consultation ensures that treatment is personalised and safe. Here’s how to prepare:
- Document your pain history – Include duration, severity, and triggers.
- List prior treatments – Note medications, therapies, and outcomes.
- Define goals – Decide whether you want to reduce pain, improve sleep, or enhance daily activity.
- Prepare questions – Ask about strains, dosing, delivery methods, and possible side effects.
Being thorough allows your clinician to create the most effective plan for you.
Safety and Monitoring
At CannaUnity, patient safety is our priority. Clinicians provide guidance on responsible use, monitor progress, and adjust treatment plans as needed. Side effects may include mild sedation, dry mouth, or dizziness, but these can be managed with personalised dosing and close follow-up.
