Benefits of Medical Cannabis

Medical marijuana has numerous scientifically proven benefits, including:

  • Decreased stiffness and muscle spasticity and burning pain related to multiple sclerosis
  • Increased appetite for patients with AIDS/HIV and Cancer
  • Decreased nausea for chemotherapy patients
  • Decreased pain related to neuropathy

Annual Recertification

It is your responsibility to contact us to schedule your annual recertification 3 months prior to certification expiration. Annual recertification with New York Spine and Wellness Center requires you be seen once in our office before your renewal certification can take place. We will schedule that visit to take place about 6 months after your certification was issued. It is expected that you will keep that appointment. Recertification will not take place without that one visit each year.
