WHO SMOKES?

Researchers are inquisitive about factors related to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced back surgery, they found that 18% were smokers. The researchers noted that compared to the non-smokers, the smokers were younger, male, nondiabetic, and nonobese. Patients in this group who suffer with coronary artery disease were more liable to be smokers. Smokers who had lumbar spine back surgery presented initially more with leg pain than back pain and disability. Their employment, insurance/uninsured, and education status were also linked to smoking status. Interestingly though, smoking status did not influence the disability status one year after back surgery. (1) Altering such risk factors work just as well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation would encourage a Tonawanda smoker who has Tonawanda back pain create a plan to stop smoking.

SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY

The body gets what is good for it…and what is not. Smoking isn’t. Studying 2307 smokers and non-smokers, researchers found that smoking is most strongly associated with spine pain. Headache, trunk pain and limb pain ensued. Active smoking is linked to pain in every part of the body. The spine and head withstand the force of the painful effect though. If a smoker doesn’t like pain, you will want to think about stop smoking! (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is with you to support your effort to stop smoking when you are ready.
