WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are inquisitive about factors linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who went through back surgery, they discovered that 18% were smokers. The researchers noted 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 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 linked to smoking status. Fascinatingly though, smoking status didn’t influence the disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Altering such risk factors work just as well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Rosenberg Wellness Center would help a New York City smoker dealing with New York City back pain 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 found that smoking is most strongly connected to 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 withstand the brunt of the painful influence though. If a smoker does not like pain, you will want to consider stop smoking! (2) Rosenberg Wellness Center is with you to back your attempt to quit smoking when you’re ready.
