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.
