Hales Health Tips -National Great American Smokeout Day

11/17/2010

 
Picture
Thursday, November 18th  is "The National Great American Smokeout Day." It is a challenge for people to quite smoking or at least quite smoking for that 24 hour period. Even if you don't go on to quit permanently, you will have learned that you can quit for a day and that many others around you are taking the step, too.

Most people do not know the full risks of smoking. I doubt we know them all. Smoking does have direct links to the spine. Studies have linked smoking to joint restrictions, osteoporosis, compression fractures, back pain, disc degeneration and decreased healing times. It may or may not be the smoke that causes joint dysfunction/subluxations, but smokers are more likely than non-smokers to have them. They also take longer to recover from them. Chiropractors are trained for and concerned with wellness. That is more than just your back. That involves your whole body function. It’s true we're not going to directly treat your lung cancer, but we will provide or recommend treatments, diet or lifestyle changes that will help your body to do it’s best in fighting that cancer. As well as to direct you with help to stop smoking.  If you let your chiropractor help you in your path to wellness they will provide a great many more benefits than just back pain relief.
