WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are inquisitive about factors related to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced back surgery, they discovered that 18% were smokers. The researchers observed that compared to the non-smokers, the smokers were younger, male, nondiabetic, and nonobese. Patients in this group who have coronary artery disease were more liable to be smokers. Smokers who underwent lumbar spine back surgery came to their healthcare provider more with leg pain than back pain and disability. Their employment, insurance/uninsured, and education status were also related to smoking status. Fascinatingly though, smoking status did not affect the disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Altering such risk factors work equally well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc would encourage a Fort Wayne smoker who has Fort Wayne back pain establish a plan to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body knows what’s good for it…and what is not. Smoking is not. Examining 2307 smokers and non-smokers, researchers discovered that smoking is most strongly connected to spine pain. Headache, trunk pain and limb pain ensued. Active smoking is associated with pain in every part of the body. The spine and head take the brunt of the painful influence though. If a smoker does not like pain, you will want to think about stop smoking! (2) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is with you to support your effort to quit smoking when you are ready.
