Toronto CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Consider Vitamin D for Headache and Neck Pain

Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide issue estimated to affect 30% to 50% of the population. (4) Researchers report that vitamin D deficiency may well trigger or worsen neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasm. They state that correcting vitamin D deficiency is important when treating these conditions since it’s not too costly and offers good results in terms of quality of care and cost. (5) Another review of studies done regarding vitamin D and headache revealed that there is a link between vitamin D levels and headaches (the strongest link being that between vitamin D levels and migraine). Researchers indicate that headache sufferers, particularly those with migraines, may reduce the frequency of headache by taking vitamin D. (6) Simple! Check your vitamin D level, and up it as necessary!
