Patient Testimonial - Ruth-Ann | Chronic Pain

“I’m alive again - not hunkering on the couch or sitting and hurting.”

When Ruth-Ann was referred to me for chronic pain due to degenerative disc disease, her pain was so severe that it interfered with her daily life. Her treatment goals were simple and things so many of us take for granted: go for long walks and tend to her garden.

After beginning cannabinoid therapy, not only did Ruth-Ann meet these goals, we were also able to safely wean her opioid analgesic and replace it with a medication with a much safer side-effect profile.
