Chronic Pain is an incredibly common health issue that affects a significant part of our population. Chronic pain can be described as any pain that lasts for a long time (usually 12 weeks or longer). The pain ranges in severity from a dull nuisance to debilitating agony. While mild chronic pain can typically be treated with relatively benign medication, more severe cases are often treated with prescription opiates. While these opiates are very effective in the treatment of chronic pain, they are also highly addictive and are associated with many negative side effects. For this reason it is no wonder physicians and individuals alike are turning to Medical Marijuana as an alternative to prescription opiates as part of a Chronic pain treatment plan. While research on Medical Marijuana as an analgesic is not completely understood, it is believed that its efficacy is explained through the endocannabinoid system which may play a role in how the body manages pain. While more research is needed, it is believed that medical marijuana is an effective -and more importantly, safer- treatment for chronic pain. Dr. Redrick is a registered Medical Marijuana physician in Florida and has evaluated excellent results with his patients.
