Medical Cannabis for Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Pain

Living with ongoing joint or muscle pain can slowly wear away at your independence, energy, and confidence. Arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions often affect mobility, sleep, and everyday comfort, even when managed with standard treatments.

If pain persists despite medication, physiotherapy, or lifestyle changes, a regulated medical cannabis assessment may offer another option. At Zoto, our clinicians focus on helping you move and live more freely, with personalised, evidence-led care.

Living With Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Pain

Arthritis and musculoskeletal pain cover a wide range of conditions affecting joints, muscles, tendons, and connective tissue. Symptoms often include stiffness, swelling, reduced movement, and persistent pain that can fluctuate or worsen over time.

Many people rely on anti-inflammatories, painkillers, steroid injections, or physical therapy. While these approaches can be helpful, they do not work for everyone and may become less effective or difficult to tolerate long term.

When pain limits daily activity or quality of life, exploring alternative, clinician-guided options may feel like a necessary next step.

When Might Medical Cannabis Be Considered?

Medical cannabis is not a first-line treatment for arthritis or musculoskeletal pain in the UK. However, specialist doctors may consider it when conventional options have not provided adequate relief or have caused unwanted side effects.

Some patients report improvements in pain levels, stiffness, sleep quality, or overall function with certain cannabis-based medicines. Suitability varies, which is why a thorough clinical assessment is essential.

At Zoto, treatment is only considered where it is clinically appropriate and aligned with UK prescribing regulations.
