WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are curious about factors
related 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. Patients in this group who suffer
with 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 related to smoking status. Fascinatingly
though, smoking status did not influence the
disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Altering
such risk factors work just as well for smokers and nonsmokers
luckily. Malverne Health & Wellness would encourage a Malverne
smoker who has Malverne back pain establish a plan
to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body gets what is good for it…and what
is not. Smoking isn’t. Examining 2307
smokers and non-smokers, researchers found 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 influence though. If a smoker
doesn’t like pain, you’ll want to consider stop smoking! (2) Malverne Health & Wellness is with you to back
your attempt to stop smoking when you are
ready.
