Is Vitamin D important? It sure is! Many Carrolltown folks are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some areas in the world! Vitamin D influences so many bodily functions, and your Carrolltown chiropractor works with so many of those bodily functions.

Carrolltown chiropractic treatment plans are not just developed for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.

THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

Vitamin D deficiencies may well precede issues like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result in decreased muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation, disability as well as falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia and rickets may also stem from15 vitamin D deficiency.
