Back Nine

If you're dealing with back pain, recovering from a fracture, or rehabbing a rotator cuff — ni****ne could be one of the biggest things slowing you down.
We're not here to lecture anyone. But the research is pretty eye-opening, and we think it's worth knowing.
In our latest blog we cover:

Why smokers are significantly more likely to develop chronic, disabling back pain
How ni****ne directly interferes with bone and tendon healing
What quitting — even short term — can do for your recovery

The good news? Your body is remarkably good at healing once you give it the chance.

Ni****ne slows bone healing, increases back pain risk, and undermines physical therapy outcomes. Learn what the research says and why quitting can be one of the most powerful steps in your recovery.
