Yes it does! Indica is higher in CBDs that help body pain. Since THC and CBD work together, many time a 1 to 1 ratio gets the benefit of both for inflammation and different kinds of pain, acute and chronic. I take tincture. Has helped with me with chronic pain post surgical for 12 years. You may also need a small amount of another pain killer depending on you pain level. I still use Ice packs to help pain as well.
