Muscle Spasms and CBD!

Have you ever felt muscle pain, known as cramps? Or a kind of "pulling" in the muscles? And what about the well-known "muscle pain" in the shoulders?
In general, we have all felt this type of pain. And some of us even suffer a lot from it, which is why we resort to physiotherapy, massage and spa services.
These pains are clinically called "muscle spasms", and athletes are the ones who most often present these complaints, due to excessive muscle strain.

What are muscle spasms?

Muscle spasms are sudden, involuntary contractions of muscles that can occur in muscle groups or even in vital organs. The vast majority of them occur due to an ionic imbalance or an overload of muscle contraction, causing cramps and localized pain that subsides after a few minutes. Spasms can also be medical symptoms of some diseases, and are especially dangerous when they occur in organs such as the heart.

Muscle spasms are triggered by several reasons, in particular:

  • Excessive sport without proper rest
  • Insufficient stretching and exercising in hot temperatures
  • Pregnancy
  • Neurological disorders
  • Excessive consumption of certain medications, such as diuretics

  • Diseases associated with the central nervous system

How to treat muscle spasms?

The first step is to find out the source of the spasms so that the right treatment can be found. In some cases, finding the cause can be crucial, as the spasms can be indicative of a chronic problem or a neurological disorder, as mentioned above.

Seeking help from qualified professionals and undergoing tests is extremely important. Depending on the origin of the problem, several treatments are recommended for these patients, from antispasmodic treatments to prescription of muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories, among others.

Some scientific studies show that these treatments are partially effective or in some cases even ineffective in treating spasticity, in addition to the fact that these treatments cause many undesirable side effects.

How can CBD help?

Several scientific studies have proven that Cannabidiol (CBD) acts as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant. It has been shown to be very useful in pain management, significantly reducing spasms and helping to relax muscles.

This contributes to improved sleep and recovery of damaged or injured muscles. In addition to the above, Cannabidiol, being a natural product, does not have any unwanted side effects and prevents some pathologies associated with the stomach.
