Manahawkin Back Surgery Patients Must Exercise
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’s 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 Manahawkin chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so fast for everyone, including time for your Manahawkin chiropractic physician at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center. Your Manahawkin chiropractic physician at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center encourages Manahawkin chiropractic patients to keep up their exercise routines even when they are feeling better and their back pain is better.
Exercise makes people happier, less depressed and sleep better. (1,2) Manahawkin chiropractic patients do, too! Hearts and minds are healthier when their owners exercise. (3,4) Just take a walk down your Manahawkin street, and see how much clearer you think and healthier you feel as your heart pumps more. Exercise slows memory loss. (4) Exercise decreases depressive symptoms. (2) Blood pressure drops. (5) Life span may even increase due to heart workouts with aerobic exercise. (3) What do you think of all these possibilities? Manahawkin Chiropractic Center encourages you to see the positives!
Exercise is life-giving. Exercise is life-supporting. Exercise is all that for normal spine folks but even more significant for Manahawkin back pain sufferers particularly for Manahawkin post-back surgery patients who still have back pain. Post-surgical patients who exercise 150 minutes a week show a notable reduction in pain and reoperation rate states a new study of post-surgery back pain patients. In this study the mean age was 57 years old. 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 (called 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? Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows our Manahawkin chiropractic patients can find 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Manahawkin treatment plan of chiropractic care.
