Lynchburg smoker suffering with back pain may require

smoking.
WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are inquisitive about factors
linked 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 have coronary artery disease were more likely 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. Interestingly
though, smoking status didn’t influence the
disability status one year after back surgery. (1) Altering
such risk factors work equally well for smokers and nonsmokers
luckily. Palmer Chiropractic Center would encourage a Lynchburg
smoker dealing with Lynchburg back pain to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body gets what is good for it…and what’s not. Smoking is not. Examining 2307
smokers and non-smokers, researchers discovered 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 take
the brunt of the painful effect though. If a smoker
does not like pain, you’ll want to consider stop smoking! (2) Palmer Chiropractic Center is with you to back
your effort to stop smoking when you’re
ready.
