Medical marijuana for symptom management
We are dedicated to providing our patients access to the latest treatments, including medical marijuana. We are advocates of this new promising treatment that can potentially aid many of those with chronic pain and other qualifying illnesses.
Our approach
This program makes medical marijuana available to patients suffering from diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, cancer, HIV/AIDS, and neuropathies. The evidence suggests that medical marijuana may mitigate some symptoms associated with these conditions, including pain, severe nausea, and loss of appetite.
Conditions
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Damage to the nervous tissue of the spinal cord with objective neurological indication of intractable spasticity
- Epilepsy
