Manchester CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Look at Vitamin D for Headache and Neck Pain

Vitamin D deficiency is a global issue estimated to affect 30% to 50% of the population. (4) Researchers describe that vitamin D deficiency may well produce or worsen neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasm. They write that fixing vitamin D deficiency is vital in treating these conditions since it’s not expensive and delivers big results in terms of quality of care and cost. (5) Another review of studies performed 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 indicate that headache sufferers, particularly those with migraines, may reduce the frequency of headache by supplementing with vitamin D. (6) Simple! Test your vitamin D level, and up it if necessary!
