WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are curious about factors related to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced back surgery, they discovered that 18% were smokers. The researchers noted that contrasted with the non-smokers, the smokers were younger, male, nondiabetic, and nonobese. These patients who have coronary artery disease were more apt to be smokers. Smokers who had 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 linked 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 just as well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Minster Chiropractic Center would encourage a Minster smoker who has Minster back pain establish a plan to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body gets what is good for it…and what is not. Smoking is not. Studying 2307 smokers and non-smokers, researchers discovered that smoking is most strongly associated with 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 withstand the force of the painful effect though. If a smoker does not like pain, you will want to think about stop smoking! (2) Minster Chiropractic Center is with you to back your effort to stop smoking when you’re ready.
