CBD Health Benefits Chiropractors & Physical Therapist Love

CBD, or cannabidiol, has gained significant popularity in recent years due to its potential CBD health benefits. Derived from the cannabis plant, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound that doesn’t produce the “high” associated with THC. For those seeking relief from sports injuries, amputations, tendon and nerve injuries, tennis elbow, burns and frostbite, and complex regional pain syndrome, CBD tinctures and creams might offer a promising option.

CBD and Pain Management

One of the primary reasons CBD has become so popular is its potential to help manage pain. Studies have shown that CBD can interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain sensation. When applied topically in the form of creams or lotions, CBD can target specific areas of pain and inflammation.

University of Virginia’s CBD Topical Clinical Trial

The University of Virginia’s Department of Plastic Surgery, School of Medicine, Department of Biology and Department Orthopedic Surgery collaborated on one of the very first CBD topical clinical trials published the elite academic journal Elsevier: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Topical Cannabidiol for the Treatment of Thumb Basal Joint Arthritis.

Following the rigmarole of the Food and Drug Administration and institutional approval of a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, eighteen participants with symptomatic thumb basal joint arthritis were randomized to 2 weeks of twice-daily treatment with CBD (6.2 mg/mL CBD with shea butter) or shea butter alone, followed by a 1-week washout period and then crossover for 2 weeks with the other treatment.

Below are the key findings from the study which hold a lot of future promises for further research. For example, Redfern’s Body Butter not only used a super strength Shea Butter as our base, but we added more than just CBD in order encourage the entourage effect where multiple cannabinoids interact together in order to optimize their overall effectiveness.

Key Findings:

• Pain Reduction: Topical CBD treatment was significantly effective in reducing thumb basal joint arthritis-related pain. Patients reported a significant decrease in pain levels compared to the control group.
• Improved Function: Participants using CBD also experienced improvements in their daily activities, indicating that the treatment helped reduce disability associated with thumb basal joint arthritis.
• Safety: No adverse events were reported during the study, suggesting that topical CBD is generally safe for this condition.

CBD Health Benefits of Tinctures and Creams

Redfern’s customers, from amputees to those with chronic pain, say they feel like they’re human again after using our line of third-party tested premium hemp products. The stories are truly remarkable. Many customers actually incorporate several products into their regiment ( from our tinctures, topicals and edibles ) to achieve their optimal and desired results. The one thing all our customers agree on is that there are no drawbacks after continuous use of our products; which some of our customers have experienced after consuming certain creams and drugs over long periods of time. They love the fact that they can continuously use our products safely while experiencing sustained improvements in their quality of life.

Below are common methods on how customers use CBD products:

• Targeted Relief: CBD tinctures can be taken orally, allowing for systemic relief of pain and inflammation. CBD creams, on the other hand, can be applied directly to the affected area, providing localized pain relief.
• Reduced Inflammation: Inflammation is often a contributing factor to chronic pain. CBD has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
• Improved Sleep: Chronic pain can disrupt sleep, leading to fatigue and increased discomfort. CBD has been studied for its potential to improve sleep quality, which can help individuals with chronic pain feel more rested.
• Potential for Nerve Pain Relief: Some studies suggest that CBD may be effective in managing neuropathic pain, which is caused by damage to the nervous system. This could make CBD a promising option for those with tendon and nerve injuries.

Considerations for CBD Use

While CBD is generally considered safe, especially from reputable brands such as ourselves, it’s important to keep a few things in mind:

Consult with a Healthcare Professional: Before incorporating CBD into your treatment plan, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or your physical therapist. They can help determine if CBD is right for you and provide guidance on dosage and usage.  

We’ll talk to your Healthcare Professional for you! : If you have heard about the benefits of our products but your healthcare professional is still not convinced, that’s no problem at all!

A lot of of our so-called competition have given our industry a bad name by putting out low-quality products which have little to no effectiveness. Not only do they not know what they are doing, but they simply do not care about the end customer. The reason Redfern put so much sweat and tears into developing our line of premium hemp products is because we know they work and, more importantly, will have a positive impact on people’s lives.

Moreover, Redfern knows our cannabis science. More than that, even if our products were devoid of cannabinoids, most physical therapists are attracted to our Body Butter’s super strength hemp seed oil based shea butter. As you can see from the graphic above, we use only high quality ingredients that are known to activate your body’s inherent healing mechanisms.

We’d be happy to speak with your physician to recommend dosage and/or share first hand testimonials from customers who may have had a similar issue as you.
