WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are curious about issues
linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced 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. Patients in this group who have coronary artery disease were more apt 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 related to smoking status. Fascinatingly
though, smoking status did not influence the
disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Altering
such risk factors work just as well for smokers and nonsmokers
luckily. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center would help a Pensacola
smoker dealing with Pensacola back pain to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body knows what’s good for it…and what’s not. Smoking is not. Examining 2307
smokers and non-smokers, researchers discovered that smoking is most
strongly connected to spine pain. Headache,
trunk pain and limb pain ensued. Active smoking is associated
with pain in every part of the body. The spine and head bear
the brunt of the painful effect though. If a smoker
doesn’t like pain, you’ll want to consider stop smoking! (2) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is with you to back
your attempt to quit smoking when you’re
ready.
