St Peters CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Consider 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 describe that vitamin D deficiency may well trigger or worsen neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasm. They write that correcting vitamin D deficiency is important in treating these conditions since it’s not too costly and delivers big results in terms of quality of care and cost. (5) A further review of studies performed about vitamin D and headache revealed that there is a connection 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 incidence of headache by increasing vitamin D. (6) Simple! Check your vitamin D level, and increase it as necessary!
