CBD Patient Experience with Tony | How CBD helped alleviate his back pain and kept him out of surgery

Summary

Today I’m talking with Tony about his experience using CBD to help alleviate his chronic back pain. After he hurt his back deadlifting, Tony tried everything he could think of to get rid of the pain. From functional exercise to dry-needle acupuncture, nothing worked. Almost by chance, Tony got his hands on some CBD and it has made all the difference ever since.

After discovering CBD, Tony started investigating just how it’s been helping him. He tells us how he found the right products and dosages for him and how it’s turned his life around. Now, having experienced the benefits of CBD, Tony has become a true evangelist for the power of this product to help heal when other interventions can’t.

“It was so traumatic to go through chronic pain. It wears you down, it makes you depressed, it just puts an edge on everything where you’re a little bit unpresent. You’re just not all the way there because in the back of your mind you’re hurting. That really just wears you down.” [22:51]
