Every step counts! Walks are healthy. Walking is effective,
even in small spurts.
It’s a growing trend in
Murfreesboro and everywhere else. Walking is free and easy. It’s a physical activity that
most anyone can do. Sadly only about 48% of
adults get enough aerobic (activity that makes the heart pumping
harder and blood vessels healthier) physical activity (1), so Most Chiropractic Clinic
recommends walking to all of our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients especially
as they recover from a back pain episode.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY GUIDELINES
Physical Activity Guidelines advise only
2 and a half hours a week. (2)
That’s manageable! That can be done in smaller chunks like five 30-minute walks or longer
walks with others instead of coffee chats or dinners out. A walk
while waiting to pick up kids at activities can work. 145
million adults walk as part of their physical activity plan. Others like some
in Murfreesboro walk for fun or transportation or exercise. 6 in
10 walk for their aerobic physical activity. Others take ballroom
dancing or gardening. (1) Brisk walking, running, jogging, swimming or biking
are potential activities when walking becomes a bit too routine,
but walking might
be for low back pain recurrence prevention as well as for cost. They are
calling it WalkBack. (5) Such a suitable name!
Effectiveness and cost-savings might also be motivators to stick to a walking program.

So if you are looking to add some physical
activity to your life or you are attempting to re-gain your
physically active life after an injury, illness or bout of back
pain, just walk (after you check with your Murfreesboro chiropractor
first!). It may well be just what you
are looking for! Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Amanda Harris on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as she describes
treatment with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that allowed
a patient to walk again without a cane.
