GIVE YOUR RECOVERY A BOOST With Products From PJ’s New Company, TrueRoots!

When David opened Cornerstone Physical Therapy Health & Wellness Center 15 years ago, he embarked on a battle against the odds. Starting a small business takes as much effort and endurance as climbing a mountain, and that’s why we’re so proud that our very own physical therapy assistant of six years, PJ Chinjen, has taken up the entrepreneurship mantle! PJ’s brand-new company is called TrueRoots, and it sells cannabidiol (CBD) products made from high-quality, organic, American-grown hemp. A lot of misunderstandings about CBD exist, but PJ is working hard to clear them up, and we’re here to help. The most important thing you should know is that CBD is not the same as THC. THC is something totally different, and it’s typically derived from the marijuana plant, not the hemp plant. Unlike THC, CBD is nonaddictive and nonpsychoactive. You won’t get a high from using it. Instead, it has natural therapeutic properties that will have a positive effect on your rehabilitation and recovery.

chronic pain, and researchers are uncovering more benefits every day. CBD does this by activating specific receptors in our bodies that boost our endocannabinoid system (ECS) and help our bodily functions run more smoothly. CBD also inhibits the breakdown of anandamide, a neurotransmitter known as the “bliss molecule.” This helps our natural happiness stick around. Our team has seen the positive effects of CBD right here in our clinic. We understand the body’s healing processes and believe that when combined with other natural interventions, like exercise and therapeutic massage, CBD can offer our patients relief from chronic conditions like arthritis and bursitis. It’s a great natural alternative to potentially harmful prescription medication. We believe in PJ’s products so much that we’ve partnered up with TrueRoots to sell them. You can now find CBD oils, gummies, topical creams, and more right here in our clinic. You don’t need a prescription to purchase these products, and PJ and our team will be happy to help you decide if they’re right for you.
