Murfreesboro Chiropractic Exercise Plans for Post-Surgery Care

March 21, 2017

10,080 minutes are in a week.  What do you do with all those minutes? Sleep, eat, talk, work, listen, shop, drive…exercise? Isn’t exercise number one on your list?!  It’s recommended that we all exercise at least 150 minutes a week. (6) That’s just  

  • 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, do we not? Even your Murfreesboro chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so fast for all of us, including time for your Murfreesboro chiropractic physician at Most Chiropractic Clinic. Your Murfreesboro chiropractic physician at Most Chiropractic Clinic encourages Murfreesboro chiropractic patients to keep up their exercise routines even when they are feeling better and their back pain is better.

Benefits of Exercise 

People sleep better, are happier and less depressed when they exercise. (1,2) Murfreesboro chiropractic patients benefit like this, too! Hearts and minds are healthier when their owners exercise. (3,4) Most Chiropractic Clinic challenges you to get out and try a walk! 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 increase due to heart workouts with aerobic exercise. (3)  Most Chiropractic Clinic sees lots of advantages from all of these!

Exercise is life-giving. Exercise is life-supporting. Exercise is all that for normal spine folks but even more crucial for Murfreesboro back pain sufferers particularly for Murfreesboro post-back surgery patients who still have back pain. Post-surgical patients who exercise 150 minutes a week show a significant 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 per week exercise expenditure and left them vulnerable to a second surgery (called a revision surgery). Only 26% of post back surgery patients met the greater than 150 minutes a week of exercise leaving them open to degenerative diagnoses, subsequent spine surgery, and more postoperative back pain. (6) 150 minutes a week does not sound like much anymore, does it? Most Chiropractic Clinic knows our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients can arrange 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Murfreesboro treatment plan of chiropractic care
