Arthritis plant based alternatives

Arthritis is a common condition that inflames the lining of joints or tendons, causing extreme pain and restricting mobility. While there is currently no cure for arthritis, physiotherapy, painkillers, and NSAIDs are usually prescribed to help manage symptoms. Recently, plant based arthritis treatments have also emerged as a popular option amongst patients in the UK, due to their efficacy in relieving pain and inflammation.

A word from our specialist

"Many conditions that lead to chronic pain often respond poorly to conventional pharmaceutical medications. More and more is being understood about how the endocannabinoid system interacts with the more well known pain pathways to work synergistically with these conventional medications. Chronic pain comes with a variety of associated symptoms such as poor sleep, fatigue, brain fog and reduced appetite – all of which treatment with medical cannabis can improve."
Dr David Tang

How do plant-based treatments affect arthritis?

The natural compounds contained in these plant based treatments are able to interact with the receptors in our bodies when they gain entry to the bloodstream, and are able to modify or alter the signals and messages being sent around the body, allowing them to regulate inflammatory responses and pain perception. 

Although research in this field is still ongoing and is still in the infancy stages, this new type of arthritis treatment has received very positive feedback. Patients taking a plant based approach to arthritis care have reported notable benefits including improved sleep, reduction in pain and inflammation, and an improved quality of life. 

Our specialist doctors can recommend plant based arthritis treatments to patients who have been struggling to manage their symptoms with conventional options, and support them along their new, natural healthcare journey.
