This can be caused by trauma, such as car accidents, falls, or sports injuries, or by medical conditions like infections or degenerative diseases. The severity of the injury depends on the location of the damage and the extent to which the spinal cord has been affected. <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/12098-spinal-cord-injury\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Common symptoms<\/strong><\/a> of SCI include:<\/p><ul><li>Loss of movement or sensation below the site of injury<\/li><li>Muscle weakness or paralysis<\/li><li>Chronic pain, often neuropathic in nature<\/li><li>Difficulty breathing, coughing, or clearing secretions in higher-level injuries<\/li><li>Bladder and bowel dysfunction<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"post_para\"><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/symptoms\/14346-spasticity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Intractable spasticity<\/strong><\/a> is a common complication of SCI.

The method of consumption can vary depending on individual preferences and physical limitations caused by the injury. Some popular methods include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Smoking or Vaping:<\/strong> Inhalation delivers the fastest relief since cannabinoids are absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the lungs. However, some individuals may have difficulty smoking due to respiratory issues, especially if their spinal injury is high up on the cord.<\/li><li><strong>Edibles or Oils:<\/strong> Cannabis-infused foods, such as gummies or chocolates, offer a long-lasting effect, although they take longer to kick in. Edibles are a good option for individuals who cannot or prefer not to smoke.<\/li><li><strong>Topicals:<\/strong> For localized pain relief, cannabis-infused creams and lotions can be applied directly to the skin. These products do not produce psychoactive effects and can be used alongside other methods.<\/li><li><strong>Oils and Tinctures: <\/strong> These are taken sublingually (under the tongue) or mixed into food or drinks. Oils provide a controlled dosage and are ideal for people looking for precise administration.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"post_para\">For more information on cannabis consumption methods, take a look at our blog on <a href=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/blog\/edibles-vs-smoking-pros-and-cons\/\"><strong>Edibles vs. Smoking<\/strong><\/a>. If you\u2019re unsure which method is best for you, it\u2019s important to consult with a medical marijuana doctor who can guide you based on your condition and symptoms.<\/p><h2>What Are the Best Marijuana Strains for Spinal Cord Injury and Intractable Spasticity?<\/h2><p class=\"post_para\">Several marijuana strains may help alleviate the symptoms of spinal cord injury and intractable spasticity. The best strains typically offer a balance of cannabinoids that provide both muscle relaxation and pain relief. Some recommended strains include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>ACDC:<\/strong> Known for its high CBD content, this strain is ideal for reducing inflammation and muscle spasticity without causing a high.<\/li><li><strong>Harlequin:<\/strong> Harlequin has a balanced ratio of CBD to THC, offering both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/strains\/harlequin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>pain relief<\/strong><\/a> and muscle relaxation without intense psychoactive effects.<\/li><li><strong>OG Kush:<\/strong> This strain is known for its powerful pain-relieving and relaxing properties, making it a popular choice for managing chronic pain and spasticity.<\/li><li><strong>Granddaddy Purple:<\/strong> Granddaddy Purple is often used to treat pain, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/strains\/granddaddy-purple\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>muscle spasms<\/strong><\/a>, and sleep disorders, all of which are common issues for people with SCI.<\/li><\/ul><h2>Conclusion<\/h2><p class=\"post_para\">Medical marijuana might offer much-needed relief for individuals with spinal cord injuries and intractable spasticity, helping to manage chronic pain and muscle spasms. While cannabis is not a cure, it has shown promising potential as an adjunct therapy when traditional treatments are not enough. If you\u2019re considering medical marijuana for your condition, The Sanctuary Wellness Institute can guide you through the process of obtaining a medical marijuana
