WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are inquisitive about issues linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced back surgery, they found that 18% were smokers. The researchers observed that compared to 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 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 didn’t influence the disability status one year after back surgery. (1) Altering such risk factors work equally well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries would help a Manchester smoker who has Manchester back pain create a plan to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body knows what’s good for it…and what is not. Smoking is not. 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 take the brunt of the painful effect though. If a smoker does not like pain, you’ll want to consider stop smoking! (2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is with you to back your effort to quit smoking when you are ready.
