WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are inquisitive about factors linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who went through 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 have coronary artery disease were more likely 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. Fascinatingly though, smoking status didn’t influence the disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Altering such risk factors work equally well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. would encourage a Auburn smoker who has Auburn 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. Examining 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 linked to pain in every part of the body. The spine and head withstand the brunt of the painful effect though. If a smoker does not like pain, you will want to think about stop smoking! (2) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is with you to support your effort to stop smoking when you are ready.
