By Discipline
Use Cases Across Clinical Disciplines
From chiropractic to sports medicine, Kannaco topicals are designed to integrate into your existing clinical workflow — not replace it.
Apply 5–10 min pre-adjustment to reduce local muscle guarding and improve tissue pliability.
Pre-adjustment application to paraspinal musculature and target spinal segments. Post-adjustment for soreness management. Prescribe Pro Roll-On for home compliance between visits. Ideal for cervical, lumbar, and SI joint presentations.
Use pre-exercise and pre-IASTM to support tissue response. Pro Roll-On for targeted joint application during functional assessment.
Apply Pro Cream prior to manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, or IASTM. The Pro Roll-On is ideal for specific joint targeting (knee, shoulder, ankle). Prescribe Roll-On for home exercise program compliance — the precision applicator improves patient adherence and reduces mess.
Use as a massage medium for general wellness clients. Menthol and camphor complement Swedish and deep tissue techniques.
Apply to target area 2–3 minutes before beginning effleurage. The full-spectrum formula preserves the entourage effect for general wellness clients. For drug-tested clients, substitute Pro Cream. Can be reapplied mid-session as needed.
Apply to acupoints or meridian pathways 5 minutes prior to needling for enhanced local tissue response.
The precision ball applicator allows targeted application without contaminating surrounding tissue. Post-treatment, apply to needle sites. The 0.0% THC isolate formula is appropriate for all patient populations including athletes and those subject to drug testing.
Acute and chronic musculoskeletal presentations in athletic populations. 0.0% THC — drug test safe for all athletes.
Apply Pro Cream to acute injury sites (strains, sprains, tendinopathies) immediately post-event. For chronic overuse presentations, apply 2–3× daily. Pro Roll-On for sideline and travel use. Appropriate for NCAA, professional, and recreational athletes.
Integrate into comprehensive wellness protocols. Match product to patient presentation and drug-test requirements.
Full-spectrum Cooling Cream for general wellness patients without drug-test concerns. Pro Cream and Pro Roll-On for athletes, military, and occupational patients. Use as part of a multi-modal approach alongside nutritional and lifestyle interventions.
Patient Profiles
Match the Right Formula to the Right Patient
Use these profiles to guide product selection conversations with patients. Each profile includes suggested language that is FDA-compliant and clinically appropriate.
Active Adult (45–65)
Pro CreamRecreational athlete or active lifestyle patient with joint and muscle discomfort from exercise. Likely drug-test aware. Values clean ingredients and clinical credibility over wellness branding.
Suggested language:
"This is a 0.0% THC topical with 4,000mg of CBD and CBG. I use it in the office and I recommend it for home use between visits. Many of my patients notice a difference in how their muscles feel after application."
Rehab Patient (Post-Injury)
Pro Cream + Pro Roll-OnPatient recovering from acute injury or post-surgical rehabilitation. Focused on functional recovery. May be taking prescription medications — topical application avoids systemic interactions.
Suggested language:
"Because this is applied topically, it works locally at the tissue level and doesn't enter your bloodstream, so it won't interact with your medications. I use it as part of your recovery protocol."
Senior Patient (65+)
CBD Cooling CreamOlder adult with chronic musculoskeletal discomfort, often on multiple medications. Values simplicity, safety, and practitioner trust. Full-spectrum formula appropriate if not subject to drug testing.
Suggested language:
"This is a topical cream with CBD from hemp. You apply it directly where you feel discomfort. It has a cooling sensation from menthol, which many patients find very soothing. It's third-party tested and I use it with many of my patients."
Professional / Competitive Athlete
Pro Roll-OnDrug-tested athlete with acute or chronic musculoskeletal presentations. Requires 0.0% THC. Values precision application and portability. Pro Roll-On is ideal for travel, sideline, and locker room use.
Suggested language:
"This is a 0.0% THC isolate formula — there is no THC in it at all, so it won't affect a drug test. It's 4,000mg of CBD and CBG in a roll-on format so you can apply it exactly where you need it, quickly."
From the Field
What Practitioners Are Saying
"I apply the Pro Cream before every adjustment on lumbar and cervical cases. My patients consistently report that the area feels more relaxed and responsive. It's become a standard part of my intake protocol."
"I work with a lot of competitive athletes who are drug-tested. The Pro Roll-On has been a game-changer — they can use it on the sideline and I don't have to worry about compliance. The 0.0% THC is the key selling point."
"My older patients love the Cooling Cream. The menthol sensation gives them immediate feedback that something is happening, and they're much more likely to use it consistently at home. Compliance has gone up significantly."
