how is smoking related to your back
smoking obviously has a detrimental
effect on our health including back pain
what happens is when you smoke is a
restricted blood flow to your tissues
this includes all tissues of your your
body including the structures of your
spine with less blood flow there’s
greater
inflammation healing processes slow down
early onset disc degeneration occurs
there’s a decrease in bone density
strength and also muscle fatigue can set
in
not to mention that people that smoke
generally are more sedentary they
exercise less so the joints of the spine
are less flexible uh less strong
stabilizing muscles of the spine the
best thing you can do is I know it’s
difficult for some people to quit maybe
cut down some that could help your
healing processes improve and lead to
