BIOGRAPHY
Recent studies provide evidence that low vitamin D levels can be the cause or aggravating factor for pain in a significant proportion of the population. Knowledge of our patients' 25OHD level provides us with evidence to make a diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency as reason for their suffering and a tool to correlate with their improvement from supplementation.
