WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are curious about issues related to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who underwent back surgery, they found that 18% were smokers. The researchers stated 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 likely 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. Interestingly though, smoking status did not affect the disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Modifying such risk factors work just as well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic would encourage a Fort Wayne smoker dealing with Fort Wayne back pain to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body knows what’s good for it…and what’s not. Smoking isn’t. 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 associated with pain in every part of the body. The spine and head take the force of the painful effect though. If a smoker does not like pain, you will want to think about stop smoking! (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is with you to back your effort to quit smoking when you’re ready.
