McHenry 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 report that vitamin D deficiency may well produce or aggravate neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasm. They write that fixing vitamin D deficiency is vital in treating these conditions since it’s not too costly and offers big results in terms of quality of care and cost. (5) Another review of studies done about vitamin D and headache revealed that there is a link between vitamin D levels and headaches (the clearest link being that between vitamin D levels and migraine). Researchers suggest that headache sufferers, especially those with migraines, may reduce the frequency of headache by increasing vitamin D. (6) Simple! Check your vitamin D level, and increase it as necessary!
