PRESCRIPTION CANNABIS

It is estimated that more than 2.3 million people throughout the world suffer from this disease that affects the central nervous system. While the disease’s progression can be slowed, there is currently no known cure. Its exact cause is as of yet undetermined, but researchers suspect a strong genetic predisposition in those who are diagnosed with it.

There are four main types of MS: relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, primary progressive MS, secondary progressive MS, and progressive relapsing MS. When it comes to treating MS, the goals are usually based on which type you have, as some patients have periods of remission while others deal with symptoms constantly.

HOW MEDICAL MARIJUANA CAN HELP

Prescription cannabis can help to treat several symptoms of MS. It has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, as well as antispasmodic properties to reduce muscle spasms in MS patients. Additionally, medical marijuana can serve as an anti-depressant, since many people with chronic illnesses can suffer from depression, and it can also help with sleep. 

The marijuana doctors at Adult Health DNP can help those with MS find the right strain of medical marijuana to best help them. We treat patients with a variety of conditions using medical marijuana. Call us to make an appointment today!
