Weight, smoking and your spine

Bring the questions that matter to you to your next appointment.

• Could my weight or smoking be playing a part in my back or neck pain?
• What small changes in eating and activity would make sense for me right now?
• Can you refer me to a dietitian, a weight program or a physical therapist?
• Would a weight-loss medicine be an option for me, and what are the pros and cons?
• Which quit-smoking medicines or counseling would fit me, and will my insurance cover them?
• How can I manage cravings, mood changes or weight gain if I quit?
