WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are curious about factors related to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced back surgery, they found that 18% were smokers. The researchers observed that contrasted with the non-smokers, the smokers were younger, male, nondiabetic, and nonobese. Patients in this group who suffer with 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 influence the disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Altering such risk factors work equally well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Pure Chiropractic would help a Concord, NC smoker who has Concord, NC back pain create a plan to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body gets what is good for it…and what’s not. Smoking isn’t. Examining 2307 smokers and non-smokers, researchers discovered that smoking is greatly associated with spine pain. Headache, trunk pain and limb pain followed. Active smoking is associated with pain in every part of the body. The spine and head withstand the brunt of the painful effect though. If a smoker doesn’t like pain, you’ll want to consider stop smoking! (2) Pure Chiropractic is with you to support your attempt to stop smoking when you are ready.
