Neurological
Statistics indicate that 11 million people in the UK are living with at least one neurological condition, with approximately 600,000 new diagnoses each year. Neurological conditions can significantly influence cognition, emotions, and interactions with the world, often stemming from damage to the central nervous system. While not everyone may qualify for medical cannabis treatment, our specialist doctors are available for consultations, ensuring a personalised exploration of options to determine clinical suitability.
How Medical Cannabis Could Help
Patients can experience relief through methods such as vaporising medical cannabis flower or using cannabis oil. The legalisation of cannabis for medical purposes has led to more people exploring medical cannabis, particularly when conventional therapies fall short in effectively managing symptoms of neurological conditions. Although there remains a scarcity of research focusing specifically on the effects of medicinal cannabis in treating these conditions and symptoms, many patients do consider medical cannabis after other treatments have proven insufficient.
