Vitamin D deficiency is a global issue estimated to impact 30% to 50% of the population. (4) Researchers describe that vitamin D deficiency may well cause or aggravate neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasm. They write that correcting vitamin D deficiency is important when treating these conditions since it’s not expensive 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 was between vitamin D levels and migraine). Researchers suggest that headache sufferers, particularly those with migraines, may reduce the incidence of headache by taking vitamin D. (6) Simple! Check your vitamin D level, and up it as necessary!
