Is Your Back Pain Actually Due To A Vitamin D Deficiency? Here’s What A New Study Reveals

1.71 billion people are the number of people who are suffering from chronic back pain globally. While this number is recorded by the Repository at the University of San Francisco, in India, about 80% of women are reported to be dealing with chronic back pain. While there are multiple factors that may be causing back pain among women and men, the correlation to a deficiency in a vital vitamin may hold the key to reducing its global disease burden. A new study published in the Cureus Journal of Medical Sciences has explored the link between low vitamin D levels and the pain severity that chronic back pain patients might feel. This research is important as it could effectively lead to answers to the increased work productivity issues, as well as affect daily functioning that low levels of vitamin D can cause.
