WHO SMOKES?

Researchers are curious about factors related to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who underwent back surgery, they discovered that 18% were smokers. The researchers stated that contrasted with 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 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 affect the disability status one year after back surgery. (1) Altering such risk factors work just as well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Spine & Sports Rehab Center would encourage a Baton Rouge smoker dealing with Baton Rouge 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 greatly associated with 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 influence though. If a smoker doesn’t like pain, you’ll want to think about stop smoking! (2) Spine & Sports Rehab Center is with you to back your attempt to quit smoking when you are ready.
