WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are inquisitive about factors linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who went through back surgery, they discovered that 18% were smokers. The researchers noted that compared to 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 underwent 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 linked to smoking status. Fascinatingly though, smoking status did not influence the disability status one year after back surgery. (1) Altering such risk factors work equally well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic would encourage a Montreal smoker who has Montreal back pain establish a plan 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 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 does not like pain, you’ll want to think about stop smoking! (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is with you to support your attempt to quit smoking when you’re ready.
