Spinal muscular atrophy is a chronic, permanent medical condition in which the interface between the brain and the muscles is broken. This can cause difficulties with movement that eventually progress to atrophied, useless muscles.
The CBD in cannabis helps to treat neurological disorders such as spinal muscular atrophy by regenerating cells and improving brain function, both of which are important for improving the condition and limiting symptoms. The THC in medical marijuana helps to relax the muscles and relieves inflammation that can cause stiffness and swelling.
