Oh, the dreaded back pain! It’s one of the most common reasons we feel out of action. This type of discomfort - called musculoskeletal pain - is all about the body's framework: muscles, bones, and everything connecting them. It can pop up in your neck, shoulders, or back and can range from a dull ache to a sharp pain.
Symptoms
A specific ache or sharp pain, especially in the lower back or neck.
Tight, spasming muscles that feel like a knot.
Pain that travels down an arm or leg.
Stiffness that makes it tough to bend or twist.
If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from arthritis. Please speak with your GP to find out more.
Treatment Options
The best secret weapon is often staying active! Physiotherapy and targeted exercises can work wonders. Pain relief may include anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants.
CBPMs can also play a role by working on multiple levels – THC helps relax tight muscles and reduce pain perception, while CBD helps cool down inflammation and ease irritated nerves that can amplify pain.
