Richmond CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Look at Vitamin D for Headache and Neck Pain

Vitamin D deficiency is a global issue projected to impact 30% to 50% of the population. (4) Researchers describe that vitamin D deficiency may well produce or aggravate neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasm. They state that fixing vitamin D deficiency is vital when treating these conditions since it is not expensive and delivers big results in terms of quality of care and cost. (5) Another review of studies done about vitamin D and headache showed that there is a connection between vitamin D levels and headaches (the strongest link was between vitamin D levels and migraine). Researchers imply that headache sufferers, especially those with migraines, may reduce the frequency of headache by taking vitamin D. (6) Simple! Test your vitamin D level, and up it if necessary!
