Can vitamin d deficiency cause lower back pain?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
YES, a common cause: Research shows that the vast majority of those with chronic back pain have inadequate levels of Vit D and that giving adequate D usually leads to significant improvement- see http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/112633.php Most adults need 5-8000 iu/day in fall & winter months, year-round if you use sunscreen or don't get much mid-day sun.
