WHO SMOKES?

Researchers are curious about issues linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced back surgery, they found that 18% were smokers. The researchers noted that contrasted with the non-smokers, the smokers were younger, male, nondiabetic, and nonobese. These patients 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. Interestingly though, smoking status didn’t affect the disability status at a 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 dealing with Manchester back pain to stop smoking.

SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY

The body knows what’s good for it…and what’s 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 ensued. Active smoking is linked to 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 will want to consider stop smoking! (2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is with you to back your effort to stop smoking when you’re ready.
