West Palm Beach smoker suffering with back pain may require

WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are curious about factors
linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who experienced back surgery, they found
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 have coronary artery disease were more apt 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 related to smoking status. Fascinatingly
though, smoking status did not influence the
disability status one year after back surgery. (1) Modifying
such risk factors work equally well for smokers and nonsmokers
luckily. Chiropractic Care would help a West Palm Beach
smoker who has West Palm Beach back pain create a plan
to stop smoking.
SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body knows what’s good for it…and what
is not. Smoking is not. Studying 2307
smokers and non-smokers, researchers found that smoking is most
strongly associated with 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 withstand
the brunt of the painful effect though. If a smoker
does not like pain, you’ll want to consider stop smoking! (2) Chiropractic Care is with you to back
your effort to quit smoking when you are
ready.
