For example, you might feel anxious when faced with a difficult problem at work, before taking a test, or before making an important decision

  • ADHD

It often coincides with increased levels of exercise.

  • Phobias

Chronic Pain Conditions

‘Chronic Pain’ defines pain which has persisted for 3 months or more. Medical Cannabis can help with pain and inflammation symptoms associated with the following conditions

  • Lower Back Pain & Sciatica

    Most low back pain is the result of an injury, such as muscle sprains or strains due to sudden movements or poor body mechanics while lifting heavy objects. Low back pain can also be the result of certain diseases, such as: cancer of the spinal cord. a ruptured or herniated disc.


    Pain that radiates from your lower (lumbar) spine to your buttock and down the back of your leg is the hallmark of sciatica. You might feel the discomfort almost anywhere along the nerve pathway, but it's especially likely to follow a path from your lower back to your buttock and the back of your thigh and calf.

  • Fibromyalgia

    Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain and spinal cord process painful and nonpainful signals.

  • Arthritis

    Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Cancer Pain

    Cancer itself often causes pain. The amount of pain you have depends on different factors, including the type of cancer, its stage (extent), other health problems you may have, and your pain threshold (tolerance for pain). People with advanced cancer are more likely to have pain. Cancer surgery, treatments, or tests can also cause pain. You may also have pain that has nothing to do with the cancer or its treatment.
