able to increase the activity of the cannabinoid
receptor CB2 that is reduced by OA, helping
reverse the effects of inflammation and therefore
reducing pain and improving movement. The
natural compounds in medical marijuana make it a
part of an overall Osteoarthritis and Arthritis
treatment while helping downsize the potential
for harmful side effects.

Typical Osteoarthritis Treatments
Osteoarthritis symptoms typically only involve
the joints, with common areas of stiffness and
pain being the hands, spine, knees and
hips. While symptoms may progress quickly for
some, the joint damage and pain caused by OA
builds gradually over a period of years and the
cause is always due to joint stress. This may
be a result of a previously sustained
injury, abnormal growth or genetic heredity.

stiff, aching pain makes tasks like opening
jars difficult Spine pain Localized pain in the
neck or lower back can inhibit activities like

How CBD Works for Pain
CBD interacts with both your immune system and
your brain receptors. These receptors receive a
bunch of chemical signals from stimuli and help
the rest of your cells respond to those signals.
When your receptors react with CBD, they form
anti-inflammatory effects that reduce pain.
