WHO SMOKES?

Researchers are curious about factors linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who went through back surgery, they discovered that 18% were smokers. The researchers observed that contrasted with 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 affect the disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Modifying such risk factors work just as well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily. Novelli Wellness Center would encourage a Orchard Park, NY smoker dealing with Orchard Park, NY 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 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 take the brunt of the painful influence though. If a smoker doesn’t like pain, you’ll want to think about stop smoking! (2) Novelli Wellness Center is with you to support your effort to stop smoking when you are ready.
