Elgin CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Look at Vitamin D for Headache and Neck Pain

Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide issue estimated to impact 30% to 50% of the population. (4) Researchers report that vitamin D deficiency may well trigger or exacerbate neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasm. They state that fixing vitamin D deficiency is important when treating these conditions since it is not too costly and delivers good results in terms of quality of care and cost. (5) A further review of studies done regarding vitamin D and headache showed that there is a link between vitamin D levels and headaches (the clearest link being that between vitamin D levels and migraine). Researchers indicate that headache sufferers, especially those with migraines, may lessen the frequency of headache by increasing vitamin D. (6) Simple! Check your vitamin D level, and increase it if necessary!
