Chronic pain is, unsurprisingly, a major focus of research that tests the efficacy of CBD. First of all, it’s one of the primary reasons people use CBD isolate and full-spectrum hemp oil, so it’s natural that focus will turn to this aspect of CBD. But more importantly, chronic pain is debilitating. According to the CDC, 20% of US adults experience chronic pain, amounting to 50 million people, just in this country. Examples of chronic pain include: - Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Lower back pain These are truly life-altering conditions, negatively altering the lives of those who suffer from them and confounding medical professionals who attempt to treat them. If CBD can help people manage chronic pain, lives could be changed in substantial ways.
