Patient Testimonial - Mike | Osteoarthritis

“I can see this being one of the greater medications of the future...I really do.”

One in five Canadians is living with arthritis. My patient Mike is one of them.

Mike has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and before beginning cannabinoid therapy, his pain was so severe that it was impacting his ability to walk and sleep through the night. Like so many others living with chronic pain, it was also impacting his mental well-being.

I’m grateful to Mike for sharing his story.

Patient Testimonial - Marsha | Chronic Pain & Sleep Disorder

In my practice, I see a number of patients with osteoarthritis. Staying active and maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for managing OA symptoms, but for many people, it’s a vicious cycle as their pain is preventing them from being as active as they would like to be. In these situations, cannabinoid therapy can be very effective, as it has both strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain relief) properties.

Here’s what my patient Marsha has experienced after beginning cannabinoid therapy. Marsha has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and experienced severe pain in her shoulder and wrist. As a result of the pain, she has also developed a sleep disorder: 

“I have never felt better after beginning treatment for my pain using CBD oil. I have been able to manage my day without constant pain and feel less irritable and more focused. Thank you to Dr. Pearson and his team for helping my 62 year old body feel young again.”
