Living with back pain can feel limiting, especially during the summer months when outdoor activities abound. However, managing your pain does not mean you have to miss out on the season’s best moments. At Ashford Pain Solutions, we believe that with the right approach, you can enjoy summer activities that support your back health and help manage your pain effectively.

When it comes to managing chronic pain, many people focus solely on medications or physical therapy. While these treatments are important, what you eat also plays a powerful role in reducing pain and inflammation. At Ashford Pain Solutions, we encourage a well-rounded approach to pain management, and that includes paying attention to your diet.

Managing back pain involves a combination of strengthening, movement, posture, and lifestyle habits. At Ashford Pain Solutions, we emphasize holistic strategies that help reduce pain and support long-term spinal health.

Vitamin D is naturally produced by your skin when exposed to sunlight. However, wearing sunscreen, while important for protecting your skin, can reduce this natural production. Fortunately, you can also get Vitamin D from foods like salmon, sardines, egg yolks, and shrimp. Many processed foods are fortified with Vitamin D, and supplements provide another reliable source.
