WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are inquisitive about issues linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who went through back surgery, they discovered that 18% were smokers. The researchers observed that contrasted with the non-smokers, the smokers were younger, male, nondiabetic, and nonobese. These patients who have coronary artery disease were more liable to be smokers. Smokers who had 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 influence the disability status one year after back surgery. (1) Modifying such risk factors work just as well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office would encourage a Groton smoker dealing with Groton back pain to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body gets what is good for it…and what is not. Smoking isn’t. Studying 2307 smokers and non-smokers, researchers found 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 take the brunt of the painful effect though. If a smoker does not like pain, you will want to think about stop smoking!
