WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are curious about factors linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who went through back surgery, they found that 18% were smokers. The researchers stated 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 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 affect the disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Modifying such risk factors work just as well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Aurora Chiropractic Center would encourage a Juneau smoker who has Juneau back pain create 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 greatly 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 bear the brunt of the painful influence though. If a smoker does not like pain, you’ll want to think about stop smoking! (2) Aurora Chiropractic Center is with you to back your effort to stop smoking when you’re ready.
