Minster Chiropractic Exercise Plans for Post-Surgery Care
10,080 minutes are in a week. What do you do with all that time? Sleep, eat, talk, work, listen, shop, drive…exercise? Is exercise number one on your list?! It is recommended that we all exercise at least 150 minutes a week. (6) That’s only
- 2 and a half hours a week.
- 5 sessions of 30 minutes a week.
- 10 sessions of 15 minutes a week.
That doesn’t seem like much, but we need to schedule it into our busy lives, don’t we? Even your Minster chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so fast for all of us, including time for your Minster chiropractic physician at Minster Chiropractic Center. Your Minster chiropractic physician at Minster Chiropractic Center encourages Minster chiropractic patients to continue doing their exercise routines even when their Minster back pain is not so bad.
People sleep better, are happier and less depressed when they exercise. (1,2) Minster chiropractic patients do, too! Hearts and minds are healthier when their owners exercise. (3,4) Just take a walk down your Minster street, and see how much clearer you think and better you feel as your heart pumps more. Exercise slows memory loss. (4) Exercise reduces depressive symptoms. (2) Blood pressure falls. (5) Life span may even be increased due to heart workouts with aerobic exercise. (3) Minster Chiropractic Center sees lots of positives from all of these!
Exercise is life-giving. Exercise is life-supporting. Exercise is all that for normal spine folks but even more important for Minster back pain sufferers especially for Minster post-back surgery patients who still experience back pain. Post-surgical patients who exercise 150 minutes a week show a remarkable decrease in pain and reoperation rate reports a new study of post-surgery back pain patients. In this study the mean age was 57 years of age. 80% of them had degenerative diagnoses. 63% had gone through a multilevel back surgery. Only 35% of them met the greater than 1400 kcal a week exercise expenditure and left them open to a second surgery (named a revision surgery). Only 26% of post back surgery patients met the more than 150 minutes a week of exercise opening them to the risk of degenerative diagnoses, subsequent spine surgery, and more postoperative back pain. (6) 150 minutes a week doesn’t sound like much anymore, does it? Minster Chiropractic Center knows our Minster chiropractic patients can schedule 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Minster treatment plan of chiropractic care.
Exercise in advance of surgery. Exercise following surgery. Exercise for life. Exercise for health. Schedule your Minster chiropractic visit today.
