WHO SMOKES?

Researchers are inquisitive about factors related to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who went through back surgery, they found 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 likely 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 equally well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. New Roads Chiropractic Center would encourage a New Roads smoker dealing with New Roads back pain to stop smoking.

SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY

The body gets what is good for it…and what’s not. Smoking is not. Examining 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 associated with pain in every part of the body. The spine and head withstand the force of the painful influence though. If a smoker doesn’t like pain, you will want to think about stop smoking! (2) New Roads Chiropractic Center is with you to support your attempt to stop smoking when you’re ready.
