CBD for pain relief
Apr
We get some great feedback from golfers using our products on and off the golf course with a variety of conditions but why is cannabidiol proving so effective?
The first thing to be aware of is this isn’t so new, cannabinoids have been used to treat pain for nearly 5000 years.
The human Endocannabinoid System (ECS) participates in regulating sleep, appetite, pain and immune response because the endocannabinoids produced by the ECS are neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors in the nervous system; and CBD may help reduce chronic pain by influencing receptor activity, reducing inflammation and interacting with these neurotransmitters.
Preclinical studies in rats demonstrated reduced pain response to incision, and significantly reduced sciatic nerve pain and inflammation.
Multiple human studies found that a combination of CBD and THC is an effective treatment for pain related to multiple sclerosis and arthritis.

The USFDA and EU EMEA have both now approved and granted Market Authorization to a prescription medicine derived from the cannabis plant.
CBD is rapidly gaining momentum in the health and wellness world as a treatment for pain. For the golf community this provides an alternative option for players to get more enjoyment form their game free from pain.
