Patient Testimonial - Kathy | Chronic Pain

“I was experiencing hip pain for almost a year. My quality of life was greatly compromised. No amount of chiropractic was working. Massage therapy would last an hour and then I would be right back where I started. I was taking narcotics which upset my stomach and caused constipation. Anti-inflammatories were of no benefit. The pain during the day would prevent me from taking walks and riding my bike. I would toss and turn all night, never getting a restful sleep. I started cannabinoid therapy and within one month I was feeling substantially better! I am returning to all the activities I love. I am so grateful for this relief. I just regret I didn’t see Dr. Pearson sooner.” -- Kathy 

Chronic pain is one of the most common diagnoses I see in my practice. It can make life unbearable and impact people’s ability to carry out every day activities. It can also impact sleep and lead to depression over time. 

This is a real challenge for physicians, as there aren’t a lot of quality, evidence-based pain management options at our disposal. Cannabinoid-based medicine offers an evidence-based, multimodal treatment option with a lower risk of harm than most other pain management options.
