Medical Cannabis for Peripheral Neuropathies

Peripheral neuropathy is a complex, chronic state that occurs when nerve fibers are damaged, dysfunctional, or injured, sending incorrect signals to pain centers in the central nervous system. It is characterized by weakness, pain, and paresthesias that typically begin in the hands or feet and progress proximally. Symptoms depend on the number and types of nerves affected.

 Medical marijuana helps alleviate pain and other common peripheral neuropathy symptoms by acting on the body’s Endocannabinoid System. Both CBD and THC have anti-inflammatory properties that may reduce neuropathic pain, inflammation, cramping, and stiffness.
