WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are curious about issues linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who went through 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 liable 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. Interestingly 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. Johnson Chiropractic would help a Richmond smoker who has Richmond back pain create a plan to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body gets what is good for it…and what is not. Smoking isn’t. Examining 2307 smokers and non-smokers, researchers discovered that smoking is most strongly connected to 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 bear the brunt of the painful influence though. If a smoker doesn’t like pain, you will want to consider stop smoking! (2) Johnson Chiropractic is with you to back your effort to stop smoking when you are ready.
