Plantar Fasciitis foot condition is hard to pronounce as well as tough to manage the sharp pain. The pain is experienced on the heel bottom or mid-foot area. It can occur in a single or both feet. If not treated properly, the plantar fasciitis inflammation can root other side effects and decrease productivity.
Plantar Fascia is a thick tissue network that connects the toes and heels. Therefore this medical condition was called heel spurs. Soon, the doctors discovered that heel spurs don’t cause pain but plantar fasciitis is responsible.
The majority of people suffer excruciating pain in the morning as soon as they wake and place their feet on the ground. As weight is placed on the feet the pain increases and can stop occasionally during heavy activities.
The traditional way of treating plantar fasciitis conditions is costly and even causes side effects. However, doctors used topical CBD in their clinical trials on small groups of patients and found it to be effective. Leanna Organics has made CBD foot cream that helps in pain and inflammation management.
CBD benefits for plantar fasciitis
Anti-inflammatory
CBD is available in full-spectrum [with THC, terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids], Broad-spectrum [terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids but no THC], and CBD-isolate [99% pure cannabidiol]. If broad and full-spectrum CBD is used, the user will experience the entourage effect. It can reduce interior body inflammation. THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids contain anti-inflammatory properties, so if they work together then the pain relief will be significant. It can also lessen the swelling in the feet.
Pain relief
From minor to chronic pain, hemp-based CBD is clinically proven to offer relief. Some people even use it to get relief from pain-related medical conditions like arthritis and gout.
Appetite suppression
Besides treating inflammation and pain in the feet due to Plantar Fasciitis condition, the THCV can suppress your appetite. If your foot issue was triggered due to sudden obesity and weight gain then the THCV can help to overcome.
How does CBD works in plantar fasciitis?
CBD research associated with joint and chronic pain showed effective results. However, there is still no clinical trial associated with plantar fasciitis but researchers claim its potential in reducing the symptoms.
The CBD cream or lotion or oil interacts with your body’s ECS. The endocannabinoid system comprises endogenous cannabinoids, enzymes, and human receptors [CB1 & CB2]. The CB1 works with the central nervous system and CB2 communicate with the immune system.
The CB1 stimulates the chemicals within your spine and brain. CBD interacts with the ECS system and enables to inhibit the pain sensation signals and even increases the serotonin level to improve mood.
Inflammation and pain are interrelated. Chronic pain triggers inflammation of specific muscles. When inflammation gets reduced the pain level also lessens.
CBD topical is commonly used in relieving pain in arthritis, gout, and feet. Topical CBD is available in the form of salves, creams, lotions, and gels. CBD foot creams are great for foot pain and lotion is suitable for skin issues.
