As a licenced, regulated, online pain clinic, we specialise in treating chronic pain with the transformative therapeutic benefits of medical cannabis.
Every day, our doctors meet patients treating chronic pain symptoms with traditional medication – often limited in its impact and frequently accompanied by troublesome side effects.
When joint pain is severe, pain relief with limits simply isn’t an option. At Treat It, we don’t believe in letting patients just get by. Or accept limited pain relief. Or manage the side effects.
Instead, we offer the clinically proven benefits of medical cannabis.
Can You Really Treat Joint Pain With Medical Cannabis?
Yes.
From reducing joint swelling and painful inflammation, to promoting muscle relaxation, improving sleep quality and enhancing overall mood, medical cannabis can have a major impact on joint pain.
The exact course of treatment prescribed by our specialist team of doctors, depends on the type and severity of your chronic pain. Our specialist pain doctors also use The NICE (National Institute for Health & Care Excellence) chronic pain guidelines to help determine the best course of action for your pain treatment and management.
And you can be assured that our medical experts are experienced and licenced to match the right THC/CBD blend and dose for your exact chronic pain symptoms and administration preferences. Our aim is to provide a prescription designed to deliver pain relief, quickly and without the unwanted side effects associated with traditional pain medication.
Is Anyone Eligible For Medical Cannabis?
Following the legalisation of cannabis for medical purposes in 2018, regulated medicinal cannabis, prescribed by a licenced specialist doctor, is an entirely legitimate, safe and effective treatment option for the relief of chronic joint pain.
There are some eligibility criteria, however. You must be over the age of 21, have no history of certain mental health disorders, and have proof of trying two previously prescribed treatments. If you match all three, you are eligible.
How Soon Can We Treat It?
How does today sound?
Our doctors are available from 8am – 8pm Monday to Friday, with appointments usually available within hours.
The first step is to create your Treat It profile. It only takes a few minutes and just means our doctors can learn a little more about you, your chronic pain symptoms, as well your condition and treatment history.
And unlike other providers, we also have – with your consent – secure access to your NHS care records, meaning there’s no need to wait days or weeks to align your treatment with your GP or hospital. Following a detailed, online consultation, a prescription can be generated swiftly, in accordance with clinical guidance, your existing medical history and any treatment plans.
Does It Have To Be Medical Cannabis?
No, not at all.
We also have a team of GPs available for you to discuss your health issues with and provide advice on the range of treatment options that may work for your chronic pain management. They are free to talk to you now on our GP Service, which – like Treat It – has doctors available 8am – 8pm every day, with appointments usually available within hours.
