Ankylosing spondylitis
The lower back and the spine are the two main areas that ankylosing spondylitis affects with its inflammatory pain. These inflammations mainly affect the joints of the human body, which then causes pain; this disease is from the rheumatic family. Sometimes spondylitis appears very early and men are mostly subject to this disease. Symptoms appear eighty percent of the time before the age of thirty. This disease lists a number of symptoms that can be stated as fatigue, but also pain in the joints. A lack of flexibility is also to be noted and of course joint inflammation.
The pain caused by spondylitis in the back is often very acute and in some cases a form of disability can even be noted. In the case where the pain felt is too strong to bear, there is often a disruption in sleep. Insomnia then occurs and the whole body suffers the consequences. Over time, the pain increases and generates even more problems. In some cases, fortunately, the pain decreases on its own. In France, there are almost 200,000 people who are affected by ankylosing spondylitis and yet, it is a disease that remains very little known to the population.
If you would like to discuss or obtain more information about this disease, we recommend this blog run by a person who is relieving their pain using CBD.
CBD and its benefits
CBD or cannabidiol is a molecule that is extracted from the cannabis plant. It has very interesting properties from a therapeutic point of view. Unlike the other really well-known molecule of cannabis, THC, CBD does not have any so-called "high" properties. In CBD products, the THC level expressed as a percentage must not exceed 0.3%. The CBD level can, however, go up to 100% like some CBD isolates. We can now tell you, cannabidiol or CBD has a whole range of benefits and virtues allowing it to become an everyday ally in order to have an alternative to drug treatments, both healthy and natural. You will find on this link the complete list of the benefits of CBD , and below, some benefits that CBD can provide to relieve ankylosing spondylitis.
CBD as a natural anti-inflammatory
CBD has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce the intensity of pain caused by ankylosing spondylitis. Treatments mainly prescribed to reduce pain are often designed from opiates. CBD will avoid the disadvantages of these treatments that make you addicted and destroy the body in other ways and in the medium and long term.
CBD as a natural neuroprotector
Cannabidiol or CBD is well known for defending and protecting our brain and neurons. It also allows our neurons to regenerate in a way. In addition, it generates a slowdown in the aging of cells that are already deteriorated. In short, thanks to CBD, it is your cognitive abilities that will be protected while preventing the arrival of neurological disease.
CBD as a natural anxiolytic
CBD is naturally a very good anxiolytic as well as an antidepressant. CBD is therefore an alternative solution to opioid-based drug treatments. No more painkillers, make way for CBD!
CBD and Spondylitis
In order to soothe the pain caused by ankylosing spondylitis, effective treatments have emerged such as massages, stretching techniques, or physiotherapy. A large proportion of patients who suffer from spondylitis generally prefer to take medications such as painkillers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or even use corticosteroid injections. There is a major problem with all these treatments, they too regularly cause unwanted side effects. So do you think that CBD can relieve pain without the side effects? The answer is YES!
Today, there is absolutely no research that has been completed on ankylosing spondylitis and CBD. However, there is some research that is currently underway.
According to researchers and their explanations, cannabinoids work to reduce pain. Thanks to the endocannabinoid system present in the human body, CBD activates receptors capable of providing information to the body and thus reducing pain. It is one of the body's systems that regulates many physiological functions of our body, including inflammation. To understand, the body reacts to pain or injury by activating our immune system and depending on the situation, it is important to have to feel the pain.
We must indeed be careful with the human body, because sometimes the immune system can very well start working for no obvious reason and ends up inflaming joints or muscles: this is the case, for example, with ankylosing spondylitis. Consequently, the pain caused by inflammation is felt more or less strongly by the patient. CBD can intervene at this time and can become a valuable aid. It will reduce the sensations caused by the action of the immune system, and therefore soothe the pain. Long live CBD!
Compared to Tetrahydrocannabinol or more commonly known as THC, CBD will improve the way cannabinoids work so that the body does not experience a bad reaction (like the high effect of THC). There will then be no unwanted side effects.
CBD cannot therefore cure ankylosing spondylitis, it is indeed not a medicine! However, it will help relieve the pain caused by this disease.
Before taking any CBD, be sure to make an appointment with your doctor to ensure that there are no contraindications with any possible ongoing treatments.
