WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are inquisitive about factors
related to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced 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. These patients who suffer
with coronary artery disease were more apt 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 related to smoking status. Fascinatingly
though, smoking status didn’t affect the
disability status one year after back surgery. (1) Altering
such risk factors work equally well for smokers and nonsmokers
luckily. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc would help a Fort Wayne
smoker who has Fort Wayne back pain establish a plan
to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body knows what’s good for it…and what
is not. Smoking isn’t. Studying 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 bear
the brunt of the painful effect though. If a smoker
does not like pain, you will want to consider stop smoking! (2) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is with you to back
your effort to quit smoking when you are
ready.
