WHO SMOKES?

Researchers are inquisitive about issues linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced back surgery, they discovered that 18% were smokers. The researchers noted that contrasted with the non-smokers, the smokers were younger, male, nondiabetic, and nonobese. These patients who have coronary artery disease were more likely 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. Interestingly though, smoking status did not influence 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 dealing with Largo back pain to stop smoking.

SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY

The body gets what is good for it…and what’s not. Smoking isn’t. Examining 2307 smokers and non-smokers, researchers found that smoking is most strongly 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 bear the force of the painful influence though. If a smoker doesn’t like pain, you will want to think about stop smoking! (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc is with you to back your attempt to quit smoking when you are ready.
