For the past 26 years I’ve been telling my patients to have a good diet/nutrition plan in place in addition to all their other chronic pain management protocols.  Some pain conditions can be both helped or hindered by the type of diet someone is on.

This month one of the three topics I posted to our News & Research Page was the role of Vitamin D and some chronic pain conditions.  Please Click Here to read that posting as well as the other two posting for this month.  Learning as much as possible is one of the most important tasks for anyone undergoing chronic pain management treatment.  Diet and nutritional issues often get overlooked so please check into this.
