CBD Oil and Chiropractic Treatment: What You Need To Know

If you struggle with pain and/or anxiety, it's likely that you've heard about using CBD oil as a natural treatment. At Diamond State Chiropractic in Newark, our chiropractic care staff is well versed in how CBD oil can be helpful for our patients.

What Is CBD Oil?

CBD oil is extracted from cannabis plants. The oil can be derived from marijuana or hemp plants. CBD oil derived from hemp plants contains little to no THC. Recently, CBD was made legal on the federal level, due to its many health benefits. CBD oil contains cannabidiol, a substance that mimics many chemicals that naturally occur in the body and are important for healthy nervous system function.

Cannabidiol and Pain

When the body experiences pain that is not due to an acute injury, the cause can often be traced to a lack of certain chemicals in the nervous system. Cannabidiol mimics many of the substances that the nervous system often lacks, creating a natural, plant-based relief from pain that does not have the side effects of many conventional treatments. Chiropractic medicine is based on the tenant that your body has the natural ability to heal itself- we're just here to help. CBD is a natural way to set your body on the path to healing after injury or trauma.

It's important to note that CBD oil does not get patients high, and does not impair mental functioning. Unlike marijuana, CBD oil does not contain THC, which is the chemical associated with the altered mental state known as being high. While the risks of CBD are very small, it's important to tell our chiropractor about any other supplements or medicines you are taking, as the oil can interact with certain medications.
