CBD Update: A Basic Guide to CBD & Its Benefits For Chiropractors & Wellness Practitioners
Chiropractic and health & wellness professionals everywhere are more and more intrigued by the benefits of CBD and the value of offering CBD products in their practices. Beyond competitive advantages, many practitioners are discovering the patient-centered wellness benefits of CBD and are augmenting their treatment plans with high-potency CBD products that have the power to relieve, reduce, repair and restore.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most exciting restorative compounds available today, and consumers worldwide are discovering its wellness benefits. CBD is a class of over 100 cannabinoid compounds present in the cannabis plant, including both marijuana and hemp. Found in the cannabis plant’s flowers, seeds and stalks, CBD oil can be extracted and then processed into a wide range of CBD products used to relieve certain conditions and to increase overall wellness or, as we at Madrigal Creatives like to say, help people experience the benefits of Living More. (See our FAQs to learn more about CBD.)
CBD interrelates with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to facilitate positive interaction with key receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The ECS plays a critical role in the nervous system’s normal functioning and the regulation of countless functions throughout the body. (See more in our video about the ECS.) Endocannabinoids such as anandamide and 2-AG, for example, function as neurotransmitters, sending positive chemical messages between cells throughout the nervous system. The Phytocannabinoids of CBD mimic the role of the body’s own naturally occurring cannabinoids, stimulating the ECS to achieve beneficial health effects throughout the body.
CBD Derived from Hemp
You may hear people refer to CBD that’s derived either from cannabis or from hemp. Hemp is defined in the U.S. as any cannabis plant containing 0.3% THC per dry weight or less. When CBD oil is extracted from low-THC hemp, the resulting products are non-psychoactive. Because Madrigal Creatives products are derived from low-THC hemp, they are federally legal in the U.S. (However, we always recommend checking to see if CBD products have any special restrictions in your locality.)
How CBD Can Benefit Healthcare Consumers
CBD products are available in a wide range of forms including topicals like sprays or gels, ingestibles like capsules, tinctures, sprays and beverages and edibles like candies, gummies, baked goods or other foods.
Madrigal Creatives specializes in product lines that feature innovative applications and delivery systems like bath soaks and body sprays, topical gels and roll-ons, unique water-soluble sprays, body scrubs and other personal care products. Consumers have told us that thanks to our products, they experience increased overall well-being and a sense of “feeling better” from better sleep, more effective inflammation and pain management, soothing relief from anxiety and improved recovery and healing. Following in-office treatment, patients will appreciate the opportunity to experience our Relieve Plus! Roll-on or Gel or the soothing relief and overall healthful boost from our other full-spectrum CBD products.

Is CBD Safe?
Research indicates that CBD is considered to be safe and non-toxic for humans, even at high amounts (as noted in a peer reviewed paper titled Safety and Side Effects of Cannabidiol*).
To further ensure safety and efficacy, our products are grown by certified Hemp Authority growers and are extracted using safe supercritical CO2. Our CBD oil is examined at three points in the manufacturing process prior to being incorporated into product formulations to ensure consistency, integrity and to protect our end users from any safety defects.
