Oxford CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Consider Vitamin D for Headache and Neck Pain

Vitamin D deficiency is a global concern estimated to affect 30% to 50% of the population. (4) Researchers report that vitamin D deficiency may well cause or worsen neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasm. They write that correcting vitamin D deficiency is important when treating these conditions since it is not too costly and offers good results in terms of quality of care and cost. (5) A further review of studies performed regarding vitamin D and headache showed that there is a link between vitamin D levels and headaches (the strongest link was between vitamin D levels and migraine). Researchers imply that headache sufferers, particularly those with migraines, may reduce the frequency of headache by taking vitamin D. (6) Simple! Test your vitamin D level, and up it as necessary!
