Pain is your body's way of alerting you to danger and letting you know what's happening in your body. You perceive pain through sensory nerve cells. These are the same type of cells that transmit information from your senses, allowing you to smell, see, hear, taste and touch.

The nerve cells that respond to pain are part of the peripheral nervous system — which includes all of the body's nerves except those in the spinal cord and brain (the central nervous system). Peripheral nerve cells align into a network of fibers that carry messages from skin, muscles and internal organs to your spinal cord and brain. The messages take the form of electrical currents and chemical interactions.
When pain messages reach your brain, they pass through the emotional and thinking regions, as well as the physical sensation region. A person's experience of pain is shaped by the complex emotional and cognitive processing that accompanies the physical damage or sensation. So pain really is in your head as well as your body.

Acute versus chronic pain
There are two major categories of pain. Pain can be short term (acute) or long term (chronic):
  • Acute pain is a severe or sudden pain that resolves within a certain amount of time. You might feel acute pain when you have an illness, injury or surgery.
  • Chronic pain is persistent, lasting for months or even longer. Chronic pain is considered a health condition in itself.

With acute pain, you typically know exactly where and why it hurts. Your elbow burns after a scrape or you feel pain at the site of a surgical incision. Acute pain is triggered by tissue damage. Its purpose is to alert you to injury and protect you from further harm.
With chronic pain, you might not know the reason for the pain. For example, an injury has healed, yet the pain remains — and might even become more intense. Chronic pain can also occur without any indication of an injury or illness.

Topical CBD IS ideal for local application to an affected area of skin, muscle, or joints. CBD applied topically tends to stay concentrated in the area where it was applied, unlike edible and sublingual CBD, which spreads throughout the entire body via the bloodstream.
CBD could help to treat arthritis and relieve the associated inflammatory pain:
  • A 2011 study found that CBD helped to reduce inflammatory pain in rats by affecting the way that pain receptors respond to stimuli.
  • A 2014 review of the existing body of research on animals concluded that CBD may be an effective treatment for OA.
  • A 2016 study found that the topical application of CBD had the potential to relieve pain and inflammation associated with arthritis.
  • A 2017 study found that CBD might be a safe and useful treatment for OA joint pain.

Pain ReliefPain relief is amongst the top benefits of using CBD oil. It is amongst the main reasons people are paying attention to this oil. Evidence suggests that high-quality CBD oil can inhibit the neural transmission of pain. As a result, the person can relax without the need to consume large amounts of pain medication.
