Ever wondered if there’s a different way to tackle chronic pain? In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', Stephan Neff sits down with Anna Oliveira, a registered nurse, massage therapist, yoga instructor, and medical cannabis consultant. Anna brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective on managing fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions using cannabis. Anna's journey began in traditional healthcare, but she soon realized that the system often focuses more on treating symptoms than on holistic wellness.
This realization led her to explore alternative therapies, including massage, yoga, and eventually, medical cannabis. She’s passionate about helping people find gentler, more natural ways to manage their pain. During their conversation, Anna discusses the potential benefits of cannabis for chronic pain sufferers. She explains how different strains and dosages can be tailored to individual needs, providing relief where traditional medications might fall short.
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows; Anna also addresses the risks associated with cannabis use, such as addiction and the importance of regulation and education. This episode offers a balanced view of cannabis as a tool for pain management. It’s a must-listen for anyone curious about alternative therapies or looking for new ways to handle chronic pain.
Whether you’re a patient, a caregiver, or just someone interested in the evolving field of medical cannabis, this conversation is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
