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."

Am I eligible?Could sciatica benefit from natural, alternative treatments?
While we are still awaiting a complete cure for sciatica pain, plant-based treatments have proven to be extremely beneficial in reducing sensory processing, which decreases pain perception, and reducing inflammation, which can improve a persons' ability to move around easily.
Poor sleep and an increased risk of developing secondary psychological conditions like depression and anxiety often accompany Sciatica, and these are areas in which natural sciatica treatments have shown promising potential too.
