WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are inquisitive about issues related to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced back surgery, they found that 18% were smokers. The researchers stated that compared to the non-smokers, the smokers were younger, male, nondiabetic, and nonobese. Patients in this group who suffer with coronary artery disease were more liable to be smokers. Smokers who underwent 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 affect the disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Modifying such risk factors work just as well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Hollstrom & Associates Inc would help a Largo smoker who has Largo back pain create a plan to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body knows what’s good for it…and what’s not. Smoking is not. Studying 2307 smokers and non-smokers, researchers found that smoking is greatly associated with spine pain. Headache, trunk pain and limb pain followed. 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 think about stop smoking! (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc is with you to support your attempt to quit smoking when you are ready.
